Melbourne Qantas First Lounge Closed most October 2025

[eminere]

Moderately busy at 1300.
A bit better than expected. Still not the same as the F Lounge. Staff are very apologetic and helpful.

Crudo and lamb, with a glass of Shiraz.

Thanks for sharing. Where did they seat you?

They're finally repairing/replacing the dodgy air conditioning system in the lounge before the busy (and hot) summer season. Anyone who has been in the F Lounge during summer over the last few years would recall the large Dalek-like aircon units dotted around to keep the place cool.

Anyone who was there on a certain day back in February when I was having a very boozy lunch before QF37 may also remember me trying to (rather ineptly) try and avoid crashing into the damned things every time I got up to ask young Julia for another round of coughtails in my chair by the window...

I had a similar experience with a mate in March prior to QF37 too..
