It’s always comforting to know when travelling through an international airport, that there’s a quiet, comfortable place in which to retreat, a place far removed from the noise and the crowds of a busy departures terminal.
That place of course is the airline lounge, a domain that up until now, belonged only to the Business and First Class passenger, or those in the top tier ranks of the frequent flyer world.
Well, thanks to the new Plaza Premium lounge at Brisbane International Airport, there’s now a lounge to rival even the best airline offerings – an airport refuge that maintains an air of exclusivity, yet which opens its doors to all.
Let’s look at what makes the new Plaza Premium lounge in Brisbane so special.

1. Ease of entry
Gone are the days when lounges were limited to the select few. At Plaza Premium, simply walk up to the reception desk and pay an entry fee. It’s as simple as that.
With your entry fee paid, you’ll have access to the stylish and relaxing lounge for up to 5 hours. And as a promotional offer, Plaza Premium even offers a 15 percent discount off the standard AUD$66 price when prepaying the entry fee on their website. The offer is valid until the end of June 2016.
2. Full range of amenities
Time flies in a Plaza Premium lounge. Upon entry, you can start enjoying all the complimentary features the lounge has to offer. Tuck in to the smorgasbord of delicious foods, enjoy a beer, wine, coffee or other beverage, on the house.
Get caught up on news, sport, business and more with a selection of international newspapers and magazines or enjoy the use of free Wi-Fi on your personal mobile device. Care to freshen up before a long flight? Plaza Premium even offers shower facilities.
