Best oneworld lounges
Anyone care to share their favourite oneworld lounges?
(not third party lounges please) |
Finnair Premium Lounge - Helsinki.
Qantas Lounge - Singapore. Admirals Club - Paris. Cathay Pacific The Wing - Hong Kong. The biggest problem of the Premium Lounge is that it's open to Sapphire members also. So, sometimes, a bit crowded. Should be an F lounge, IMO. |

But, AY doesn't have F and I don't think any airline flies F into HEL.
But if AY bothered with two lounges side-by-side I think they should have kept one as J lounge and one as F lounge. The current situation is that the Premium Lounge is often more crowded (thuogh, it is smaller) and the offerings could also be upgraded (if serving fewer people). If the whole point is to benefit AY's own frequent flyers, which is totally fine, then they can offer access to Golds and Platinums from their own program and also Emeralds (only) from other programs in the alliance. It wouldn't be the first lounge to have such a policy. Anyway... fantastic lounge in my book. |
Qantas First Sydney, hands down. Spectacular food and wine, well laid out lounge with plenty of space, plus the spa. All they need is the Wing's cabana's and it would be officially heaven.

Qantas Melbourne
Qatar Doha QF Singapore Those are the only that I can think of that are "best" that I have been to. |
QF - Sydney (F)
CX - The Wing HK QF - Singapore (J&F) I don't think the HEL Finnair lounge is in the same league and the KUL Golden First Lounge is ok but again not great. |
Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Lounge - Doha. Hands down!
The 2nd floor restaurant can be crowded late afternoon/early evening, BUT several glasses of Krug take care of any angst. There is a LOT of quiet space on the main floor with several quiet areas for resting. |
Agree the AY Helsinki lounge is awesome

My 3 Favourites & Hands Down Worst
My personal favourites are:
1. QF First Sydney. The Neil Perry menu, Salt & Pepper Calamari especially, great wines as already stated, and friendly staff. Plus good views. 2. BA First LHR. Nice and roomy, good wines, food bit hit and miss, but when good, very tasty. 3. CX First The Wing. Great Staff. good food and wine, but the colours make it feel too much like going to visit one of my banking clients. The flea pit of the First Class Lounges is (well for me): 1. BA First JFK. Absolute dive, food is dire, wine selection is better in the business class lounge, dull lighting gives it an old Eastern Block feel. Does have lots of M&Ms (only good thing I could think to say of the place, and even then I prefer Smarties) |
My view, in order..
1. Cathay the Wing HKG first 2. Qatar business class lounge London 3. Qantas First Sydney 4. Qatar Al Mourjan business class lounge Doha 5. BA CCR Heathrow 6. Qantas LAX 7. Qantas Singapore 8. JAL Narita First |
Here's my ranking
1. Qantas F Lounge at Melbourne 2. Cathay Pacific The Wing F Lounge at Hong Kong 3. Qantas J Lounge at Hong Kong 4. Qantas F Lounge at Los Angeles 5. Qantas J Lounge at Singapore 6. Japan Airlines F Lounge at Haneda and Narita 7. British Airways F Lounge at Heathrow (not CCR) 8. Cathay Pacific J Lounge at Haneda |
Is it correct to call BA's CCR and QR's lounges at LHR and DOH "oneworld lounges"? I believe they have different entry requirements (have to be flying in premium cabin on those carriers, status not relevant) which may exclude them from this discussion.
