Plaza Premium has expanded its portfolio of
airport lounges around the world with the opening of
a lounge in the international departures area of Adelaide
Airport (ADL) in Australia.
Spanning 532 sqm, the lounge can cater for up to 137 people
and is the group’s fourth location in
Australia.
Plaza Premium Lounge Adelaide is also the first
dedicated international common-user lounge at Adelaide Airport
since the current terminal was opened in 2005. It
hosts international and local travellers especially South
Australian residents travelling out across Oceania, Asia, the US
and UK.
Anyone can pay to enter the lounge, regardless of
airline or class of travel.
Smart Traveller members receive a 20% discount off walk-in rates
and various multi-city passes are
available at a special price.
Travellers have the option to choose
from the Australia Pass which gives access to all Plaza Premium
Lounges in Australia including Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney,
while the more popular multi-country
pass gives travellers access to lounges across Australia,
Southeast Asia and the United Kingdom. Passes are valid for 12
months from the activation date and can easily be shared with
family and friends.
“We’re excited that for the first
time, all our international departing and transit passengers have
the option to relax in a wonderful premium lounge space before
their flight,” said Brenton Cox, Adelaide Airport’s Managing
Director. “This is one of the final pieces of our
AU$200 million terminal expansion project that has also seen a
significant upgrade of our international arrivals and departures
facilities including expanded duty free, more room for immigration
processing and more baggage belts for arriving passengers.”
Upon entering, guests will travel through a wine
corridor opening into the lounge space divided into multiple zones
that accommodate the needs of different travellers. Guests can
enjoy a cocktail at the bar, grab a bite in the dining area, or
catch up on last minute work or emails in one of the cosy booths. Showers are
also available to any guests
who want to freshen up pre-flight.
With
sustainability in mind, single-use plastics have been eliminated,
the lighting scheme is comprised of 100% LED lighting, and the
lounge is installed with energy-efficient appliances and water
saving devices.
“We are delighted to be the first and only
international lounge at Adelaide Airport offering departing and
transit passengers their own lounge to relax before flying just
steps from departure gates. This is our 4th major city location in
Australia, each lounge’s design reflects the personality of its
home city. We are excited to bring our exceptional hospitality to
Adelaide, setting a new standard of offerings, welcoming guests to
experience our award-winning service amongst local touches of
South Australia.” shares Mr. Poh Kiat Lee, Regional General
Manager, Oceania, Plaza Premium Group.
The lounge
at Adelaide Airport follows recent lounge openings in
Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Orlando,
Edinburgh, Cebu and Dubai.
