Qantas has unveiled details of its new lounges in Hong Kong and Los Angeles ahead of the official venue openings in spring 2014.
The lounges will draw inspiration from their local destinations in terms of their design and dining offerings.
The Qantas Hong Kong lounge is due to open in March 2014, and will feature contemporary interiors that reflect the "diversity, colour and luxury lifestyle" of Hong Kong.

Customers will also be able to sample traditional Hong Kong food including dim sum dumplings served on yum cha trolleys.
In addition, Qantas consulting chef Neil Perry will be creating a regional inspired Asian flavour lounge menu that features classics from his Rockpool and Spice Temple restaurants.
The Los Angeles (LA) business class lounge will be jointly owned by Qantas and fellow Oneworld members, Cathay Pacific and British Airways.
When completed, the new facility will be more than twice the size of the current lounge, and offer nearly 600 seats.
