This Escape Lounge joins the Plaza Premium Lounge as the only common-use lounge at Brisbane International Airport.
Besides the roomy lounge and amenities, guests can indulge in freshly prepared, locally inspired seasonal dishes crafted by in-house chefs. The lounge also features local and international wines, beers, premium spirits, and barista-made coffee. Throughout the lounge, there are modern tables, seating, and work areas. The lounge also provides free ultra-fast Wi-Fi, charging ports, power outlets, and print, scan, and copy services.
Currently, the BNE Escape Lounge is not listed with Priority Pass, but you can access the lounge by pre-booking for A$65 (~$42 USD) or with a walk-up rate of A$80 (~$50 USD) per person.
