Located upstairs between Gates 10 and 11, the new Qantas Business Lounge shares its entry foyer with the Qantas Club

2/18
Also discretely tucked away to one side of the foyer is the invitation-only Chairman's Lounge, marked simply as 'Private Lounge'

3/18
The Qantas Business Lounge has capacity for 248 business-class bums on seats

4/18
The design and decor brings together everything from Qantas' 'new domestic experience' rollout

5/18
This includes the 'island dining' area across from the servery

6/18
A second bench opposite the bar will probably be more for island drinking than island dining

7/18
The view..? Well, it's not quite as scenic as you get from the much larger Qantas Club

8/18
Hot lunch items from the Neil Perry menu include a mild braised chilli pork, steamed rice and tomato & basic soup.

9/18
Cheese selection including (at right) bitey cheddar and guava paste instead of the more common quince

10/18
There's also the same variety of salads, dips, deli meats and vegetables as in the Qantas Club, most of which are prepared fresh on premises

11/18
Snacks for coffee and tea range from shortbread to licorice!

12/18
Also in a starring role in the new Business Lounge are these exceptionally comfortable David Caon chairs

13/18
As in the Qantas Club, the design delineates several nooks rather than creating one cavernous open space

14/18
There's no shortage of magazines to flick through before your flight

15/18
240V AC and Ethernet sockets are concealed under the centre compartments on these two eight-seat laptop benches

16/18
The eight iMacs, which can also run Windows 7 Profesisonal, are connected to a pair of multifunction print-scan-fax machines

17/18
The toilets are well-appointed and include Molton Brown hand wash gel and moisturising hand lotion
