Qantas has unveils design of its new First Class Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

Qantas has unveiled the design of its new First Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport using Virtual Reality. The lounge is set to open at the end of 2019.

The lounge will accommodate 240 customers and offers transit passengers shower facilities, à la carte dining including an open kitchen, a cocktail bar and several charging stations for devices.

“While we already use VR technology to promote destinations, this is the first time we have used it to better understand a lounge design. Being able to immerse ourselves in a virtual lounge gives us a more accurate sense of space and an understanding of how it will look to scale We know Qantas customers like to dine in the lounge to maximise sleep onboard, so the layout will offer generous and comfortable seating options, ideal for eating, working or relaxing,” said Qantas international CEO, Alison Webster in statement

The Qantas First Lounge in Singapore is expected to open in late 2019, while the existing Business Lounge will be expanded and is due to open mid-year. The overall lounge capacity in Singapore will increase by 60 percent, and combined, the First and Business Lounges will offer seating for more than 800 customers.
