Qantas Airways opened (30-Jun-2020) 11 domestic lounges on 01-Jul-2020, following the easing of travel and venue capacity restrictions, after closing all lounges on 23-Mar-2020. As part of Qantas Group's 'Fly Well' programme, a number of measures are implemented across the lounge network to promote the health and wellbeing of passengers and staff including:
- Capping the number of guests to comply with state specific restrictions on indoor gatherings;
- A hosted All-Day Snacking Station replacing 'self serve' buffets and drink stations;
- Disposable coffee cups;
- Additional cleaning protocols;
- Sanitising stations.
Passengers will be able to choose from a selection of dishes from staff, including a personalised tray around service, individual snacks, as well as beverages from the barperson and barista. [more - original PR]
