★4.5(542 reviews)SYD · Terminal 1 · airside
Emirates' own lounge at Sydney Airport, open in two windows around its morning and evening departures.
The Emirates Lounge at Sydney Airport is the airline's own business and first class lounge, airside in Terminal 1 on Level 1 after Customs, near Gate 58 on Pier C. Entry is for Emirates First and Business Class passengers and Emirates Skywards Platinum and Gold members. There is no Priority Pass access and no paid entry, so this is a lounge you qualify for rather than buy. Its hours are unusual. The lounge opens twice a day, 04:00 to 08:20 and 17:10 to 21:15, matching the Emirates morning and evening departure banks, and stays shut in between. It is spacious and split into several seating areas, which keeps it quiet. Food is a hot and cold buffet, and the bar is a full one with soft drinks too. If you are flying Emirates in a premium cabin, it is the obvious place to wait.
Crowding · spacious
The quiet, separated seating areas suit a short spell of reading or email before boarding. It is a pre-flight lounge rather than a workspace.
The Emirates Lounge serves a complimentary hot and cold buffet with a full bar and soft drinks. That is enough for a proper meal before a long-haul flight.
Clear security and passport control in Terminal 1 and follow the signs for Pier C. The Emirates Lounge is on Level 1 after Customs, near Gate 58.
