Qantas First Class Lounge

Neil Perry's culinary vision meets refined design — with an artificial sky overhead
The Qantas First Class Lounge at Changi Terminal 1 showcases what happens when an airline invests seriously in its outstation premium product. Neil Perry's culinary partnership delivers a la carte dining that management describes as a love letter to the hawker and haute cuisine of Singapore — the signature laksa is permanently on the menu and seasonally rotating dishes keep repeat visitors engaged. The 1,000-square-meter space seats 240 across marble, mid-toned timber, and living greenery. The absence of windows could have been a critical flaw, but an impressive ceiling installation creating a blue sky illusion turns a weakness into a talking point. Shower suites with Lagaia Unedited toiletries rival five-star hotel standards. A business centre with printing adds practical value. Hours are limited to approximately 3 PM to midnight, opening before the first Qantas departure and closing after the last.
