Inside the new American Express Lounge at Sydney Airport

Air travel is exhausting and draining at the best of times. Testing patience and family bonds, travelling might enrich lives and expand horizons, but the journey often comes at an emotional toll—a more than valid reason to explain why airport lounges have become the golden ticket to comfortable travel. 

Known for their airport lounges the world over, American Express has now opened their revamped and renovated Sydney lounge. Located in the international terminal, the brand new American Express space is three times the size of the previous lounge and proves the perfect place to unwind before a flight or during a layover. 

The lounge features freshly made meals prepared by a team of chefs, a fully stocked bar and plenty of comfortable places to sit. Comfort aside, wellness is also a key priority for the lounge, with a selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes on offer to order. A suite of three showers is also available to use, complete with products from L’Occitane—because we all know feeling fresh before a flight can make all the difference. 

“Airport lounge access continues to be one of the most valued benefits for our card members and we know from the success of our lounges around the world that travellers appreciate the  stress-free environment, complimentary dining, and luxury amenities that our American Express Lounges offer,” Naysla Edwards, vice president of brand, charge cards and experiences at American Express ANZ said of the opening. 

Airport lounges have become something of a design mainstay for seasoned air travellers, with many frequent flyers choosing airlines based on the quality of their lounges. This latest opening from American Express sees the traveller-focused card company join the luxury leagues of Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Emirates, who all operate world class lounges out of Sydney airport. And with travel plans getting more frequent and seats getting smaller, it only makes sense that there’s more of a market for stretching out and enjoying a cocktail pre-flight. Chin chin!
