From the curve and shape of the Flinders Ranges to the stark beauty of Kangaroo Island, iconic South Australian aesthetics dominate the new Qantas business class lounge at Adelaide Airport.
Culinary legend Maggie Beer, speaking with NewsWire at the airport on Thursday, said the new lounge had “raised the bar” and would present travellers with the best of South Australia.
“I love the vibrancy, the open space, the feeling of how grown up this place is, as Adelaide is,” she said.
“There is nowhere else like Adelaide and South Australia.”
Chef Neil Perry crafted the menu at the lounge, with the city’s iconic Central Market a key influence.
Ms Beer’s produce will also feature.
Qantas Group chief executive Qantas International Cam Wallace said the lounge would offer business travellers a “premium in-flight experience.”
“For the millions of customers that visit our lounges, we know just how important it is to have a premium pre-flight experience and we’re so pleased to be bringing this to Adelaide today,” he said.
“The new lounge has been designed based off feedback and the features we know our customers’ value the most.”
The 1016 sqm lounge can accommodate 190 customers.
It features locally sourced furniture, lighting and natural materials.
More to come.
