[edit] On Ground Services
A chauffeur will pick you up from your door and can be waiting for you when you land. You can book Qantas Drive whenever you are travelling on a Qantas flight to or from any major Australian airport. Qantas Drive is operated by Equity Transport Limited ACN 010 237 108. As a Business customer we recommend you check in at least 90 minutes before your flight departure time at the dedicated Business check-in. At the gate, a dedicated boarding lane for international flights allows you to avoid the general queue, so you can board with ease at any stage of the boarding process.[1]

The lounges are open to Business customers and Qantas Platinum and oneworld Emerald Frequent Flyers.[3]
