Qantas to Open New Airport Meeting Rooms in Sydney and Melbourne

Qantas is to open new, dedicated meeting rooms within its domestic terminals in Sydney on 25 February and in Melbourne on 17 March.

Qantas Group General Manager Customer Product and Services, Ms Lesley Grant said, "These new state-of-the-art conference facilities have been purpose built to provide complimentary interactive plasma screens for data projection, teleconferencing equipment, wireless connectivity and broadband Internet, along with a break-out area."

Qantas Meeting Rooms will be available to anyone, at competitive hire rates, with Qantas Club and Frequent Flyer members receiving a significant discount.

The rooms can accommodate between 2 and 20 people, and will offer a wide selection of gourmet catering choices, from light snacks and refreshments to full-day packages.

"With premium facilities and services available, customers will be able to host meetings without leaving the airport, helping to save costs and time travelling into the city," Ms Grant said.

The new facilities are part of an extensive upgrade of Qantas' domestic airport facilities, including the recent introduction of Qantas Web Connect, a gate lounge and terminal-wide wireless connectivity service in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, and complimentary wireless connectivity in Qantas Clubs.

New, dedicated Business lounges for Business Class customers and Platinum Frequent Flyers will open in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane by mid-2008.

The Qantas Meeting Rooms will be located at: Sydney (T3) - Level 1 satellite, opposite the Qantas Heritage Collection (T3); and Melbourne - Mezzanine Level, opposite Gate 1.
