Given Qantas' long-haul travel pedigree, it may come as a surprise that the airline has just opened its first lounge at London Heathrow.

The new lounge opened ahead of Qantas' non-stop Perth to London Dreamliner service, which takes off in March.

Located in Terminal Three, the two-storey lounge has seating for 230 passengers with views of the airfield, a buffet and an a la carte menu, six shower suites, barista-made coffee and a fully stocked bar including a specialty gin bar.
