The SkyTeam Lounge is nestled next to the American Express lounge in Terminal 1 at Sydney Airport. The lounge services passengers travelling on SkyTeam airlines including China Airlines, China Eastern, China Southern, Delta, Garuda Indonesia, Korean Air, Xiamen Air and Vietnam Airlines, the airline I was travelling with to reach Hanoi.
In a sudden twist of fate, our 3pm flight was delayed by six hours, so I spent a considerable amount of time in this lounge on a quiet Monday afternoon, all the way up to 9pm.
Sandwiched next to the TV room is a small bean bag room with a nice tarmac view. This is a great spot to lay down if you're looking to sleep a bit before your flight. (Just set the alarm on your phone so you don't miss your flight!)
The SkyTeam lounge in Sydney Airport is a tidy, relaxing spot to unwind before your flight. It has most of the facilities you expect in an airport lounge, including a solid selection of hot meals, showers and a nice view of the tarmac. The small size of the lounge leaves a little to be desired, particularly when it comes to the workstation area.
THE FINDER LOUNGE REVIEW PROMISE: Our lounge reviews are based on a visit to the actual lounge during normal operation. We offer an honest and open critique from one of our frequent flyer experts, and update with any relevant news as it comes to hand. Being in a lounge should always be more pleasant than just being stuck with waiting at the gate, but we won't shy away from highlighting issues. Learn more about how our scoring works.
