The Emirates Lounge

Renovated 2024, 1,108 sqm — Emirates First and Business Class and Skywards Platinum/Gold.
The Emirates Lounge in Brisbane's International Terminal was renovated in late 2024 and spans 1,108 square metres, making it one of the larger lounges at the airport. It welcomes Emirates First Class and Business Class passengers along with Skywards members holding Platinum or Gold status, and economy flyers can purchase access subject to capacity. The renovated space leans on elegant furnishings and a dramatic window wall overlooking the apron. The standout is the food: an extensive hot and cold buffet drawing on local, Middle Eastern, Oriental and European dishes, served alongside a wide range of self-served alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. For travellers flying Emirates in a premium cabin out of Brisbane, it's a generous, well-appointed place to settle before a long-haul departure.
Crowding · busy at peak
A comfortable place to work before a long-haul flight, with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and quieter zones. Suited to email and light work rather than long focused sessions.
The food is the highlight — an extensive hot and cold buffet drawing on local, Middle Eastern, Oriental and European dishes, served alongside a wide range of self-served alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. A generous spread built for Emirates' long-haul premium passengers.
