Qantas lounge in Honiara

[Mattg]

I flew Qantas out of Honiara (HIR) this week.

The Qantas website does not mention anything about a lounge at this airport. But in case anyone is travelling there in the future and is wondering, eligible Qantas customers can in fact access the Solomon Airlines Belama Club Lounge. This was mentioned to me at check-in (as a Platinum member) and there was a sign on the lounge reception with information about access.



It's a small but functional lounge with clean toilets, Wi-Fi, drinks and some very light snacks.

Somewhat similar situation in JNB. QF only mentions BA lounge on their webpage, but the Aspire lounge (which opens ealier) has a QF display on the door and QF pax are admitted. I guess QF can't keep up with all their lounge agreements

It’s a pity that I lost all my photos of the first time I flew out of HIR on 29/12/1969. The captain of my flight took a photo of me waiting for the flight. Propped up by my back pack against the terminal building. It was one of the original Nissan huts from WW2.
It had reopened earlier that year. I was the only one on an international flight that day. No lounge that day.

Had a similar experience when Comair (British Airways) existed and they used to let Qantas Club holders into their SLOW lounges - with absolutely nothing listed on the Qantas website.

Accessed these lounges in Joburg and Cape Town and they were truly lovely.
