[edit] On Ground Services
As a Qantas First Class customer you have the freedom to check in up to 60 minutes before your flight departure time at the dedicated First check-in counter. You are then invited to relax in the First or Business lounge before your flight. 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. Your baggage travels with priority baggage tags to ensure it is among the first off the aircraft.[1] Available in Sydney (T1, T2 and T3), Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, Qantas Valet Parking is a premium valet service that allows customers to drop off their car and proceed to check-in. Qantas Frequent Flyers can pre-book using Valet Express. Qantas Drive offers a limousine service to and from select domestic airport terminals.[2]
[edit] Lounges
Qantas Club lounges provide comfortable seating, complimentary light refreshments, bar facilities and reading material. Select lounges also include business facilities, complimentary wireless internet, work-stations and showers. Members are welcome at over 130 lounges worldwide. Lounges are open to Platinum and Gold Frequent Flyers, oneworld equivalent members, Qantas Club members on day of Qantas travel and all Qantas First and Business customers on day of travel. Ahead of the introduction of the A380, new flagship Qantas First Lounges opened in Sydney and Melbourne in May 2007. Designed by Marc Newson, the lounges offer a full concierge service, open kitchen restaurant with menus by Neil Perry, library and complimentary day spa.[3]
[edit] First Class Seat
Enjoy peaceful rest onboard as you stretch out in our sleeper beds. Controls at the end of your armrest move your seat, leg rest and lumbar positioning from a relaxed reading position to completely reclined on your 198cm (6ft 6in) bed. Even in a sleeping position, the width between the armrests is 54.6cm (21.5in) so there is plenty of room between you and your neighbours. Then relax with your cosy duvet, soft lambs wool blanket and oversized linen pillow and enjoy the best flights sleep you ever had. To improve the inflight experience, a unique LED cabin lighting system has been exclusively designed for the B747-300 and B747-400 aircraft. The first of its kind in the skies, the system adjusts the interior ambience of the cabin in line with the time of day and onboard activities, making flying more relaxing.[4] The main deck on-board the Airbus A380 First cabin features 14 private suites, each with wide screen LCD video monitors, a unique touch screen control unit and a seat, manufactured by B/E Aerospace’s VIP jet group, that swivels and reclines into a comfortable armchair and fully flat, extra long and very wide bed.[5]
