Airport Lounges

Lounge access options at Melbourne Airport — Priority Pass, airline lounges and day passes.

Lounges at MEL

Melbourne's lounges are split by terminal: Qantas dominates T1 (domestic) and has both a Business and First Lounge in T2 (international), while the independent Priority Pass network — Plaza Premium, Marhaba and The House by Aspire — is concentrated in T2 alongside several international airline lounges.

Marhaba Lounge (T2) — open 24 hours, run by Dnata, walk-in day passes available for roughly AUD 50-80

The House by Aspire (T2) — design-forward space with a cocktail bar and locally sourced menu

Qantas First Lounge (T2, Level 3) — restaurant-style dining and spa treatments, restricted to First Class and top-tier frequent flyers, not Priority Pass

Priority Pass accepted at MEL

Insider tip

All three Priority Pass lounges (Plaza Premium, Marhaba, The House by Aspire) are in Terminal 2 only — if you're on a domestic Qantas or Virgin flight from T1 or T3, Priority Pass won't get you into a lounge there, so plan accordingly.

Lounge availability, access policies and amenities at MEL change regularly. Verify with the lounge operator or your card/membership provider before travel.

Lounge Tips for Melbourne

Arrive at the lounge at least 90 minutes before departure — most lounges get crowded in the final hour before peak departures.

Lounge WiFi is usually much faster and more reliable than the general terminal network — ideal for last-minute work.

Check your travel credit card benefits before buying a Priority Pass — many premium cards include complimentary lounge access.

Alliance status matters: Star Alliance Gold, oneworld Emerald/Sapphire and SkyTeam Elite Plus members can typically access partner lounges even when flying Economy.

Some lounges at MEL may be airside only — confirm whether your lounge is accessible before or after security.
