Guest blog: Dream your way Down Under with Qantas

Experience non-stop luxury from London to Australia with Qantas

When your business takes you all the way to the other side of the world, you’ll want to travel in comfort.

With Qantas, you can enjoy non-stop flights from London to Perth, meaning you can enjoy a direct route to the land Down Under. And, with all the luxuries of the Qantas Business Cabin, you can arrive feeling refreshed and ready to do business from the moment you land.

Enjoy a flying start to your trip

As a traveller in Business, you can breeze through the airport with a dedicated Premium Check-In Desk at London Heathrow, as well as a fast track through security so you can reach the Qantas London Lounge sooner. Spread over two levels, the London International Lounge blends both English and Australian style to offer flexible spaces to work and relax, waited table service, and a private shower suite where you can freshen up before take-off.

You’ll also find plenty of refreshments to help yourself to. Whether you’re looking for hot barista-made coffee, fresh juice, or something a little stronger, you can find beverages for all occasions. Head to the expansive Gin Bar to sample unique and rare gins from around the world, or set yourself up at the Cocktail Bar for sweeping views of the airfield and a chance to enjoy your favourite cocktail, award-winning Australian wines, and more.

Before you leave, be sure to order from the Neil Perry inspired à la carte menu, featuring delicious British dishes, designed for healthier long-haul travel. Although every dish is equally delectable, you won’t want to miss the Salt and Pepper Squid, it has become a cult classic among those visiting the lounge, and for good reason too.

Make yourself at home in the air

On board, make your way to your own private Business suite. Spacious, comfortable, and with direct aisle access on every seat, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in First.

If you didn’t fill up in the lounge, you’ll find an equally impressive dining experience in the air. With a full menu to choose from, you can select a meal to be freshly prepared on board, paired with Australian wines hand-selected by the Sommeliers in the Sky. Or if you’re looking for something lighter, you can help yourself to the inflight Snack Bar for refreshments around the clock.

With a large table to use, you can easily set up a tablet or laptop to continue working. Then, once you’re ready to kick back, you’ll find a world-class selection of the latest movies, binge-worthy box sets, and a large music collection to immerse yourself in.

Dream your way Down Under

The cabin’s ambient lighting will help you adjust to the destination time zone, so when the lights go down and the signature Qantas pyjamas come out, you’ll find your seat effortlessly converts into a fully-flat bed. To help you drift off, the crew will make up your bed with a soft cotton duvet, a mattress and a European style pillow for maximum comfort.

Once you’ve dreamed your way around the world, you can wake up to a delicious breakfast menu that has been especially created to help reduce the effects of jet lag. The complimentary amenity kit also comes equipped with luxury Australian skincare balms and creams to help you feel at your best.

Make the most of your arrival time

With no stopovers or connections, the flight to Perth usually lands around lunch time, which means with a good rest behind you, you can make the most of the day. Thanks to the dedicated Qantas International Terminal, you can enjoy a speedy exit through customs and easy access to baggage collection. So, whether you want to pop into the office to meet colleagues and clients, book in to try the local cuisine, or simply take in some of the sights around Australia’s sunniest capital, you can plan your arrival to make sure you’re feeling as fresh as possible and ready to do business.

And, if you’re connecting to flights across Australia, you can expect the same warm hospitality and effortless experience wherever your business takes you. With over 65 destinations across the country, nobody takes you to Australia like Qantas.
