Hi All

Not able to ascertain from the OP if I will have access to a lounge in BNE. Flying PER-BNE-LAX and have 5 hours in BNE as we arrive on the red eye.

Only silver with Virgin and have the 2 visits but will I be able to visit the Virgin lounge in BNE or is there no Virgin lounge for Intl departures from BNE?

Sorry for the confusing question.
TIA

Virgin use the Air New Zealand lounge for international, and it is only available to Gold/Plat members or Business Class pax. I don't believe AirNZ offer the ability to purchase a lounge pass either sorry.

Hey all,

If my connecting domestic flight has an EY flight number but operated by VA, can I get lounge access as a Velocity Silver using the yearly pass?

Eg, for routes PER - MEL - AUH, and then AUH - BNE - PER.
I should be eligible for lounge access at Perth and Brisbane respectively, right?

Thanks.

Welcome to FT.

There's a fair bit here:

http://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en...nd-conditions/

But ... it's unclear what "Virgin Australia Itinerary" actually means.
f) Single Entry Guests may access the lounge if they present a same day onward Virgin Australia itinerary or boarding pass to lounge staff, a maximum of 2 hours prior to their flight's scheduled departure time.

A question for you all:

I cannot find any reference on VA website that says business class passenger can bring a guest into a lounge on a domestic flight so I am assuming that the answer is that a business class passenger without any relevant status can't bring a guest into the lounge.

Could someone please confirm if my assumption is correct? Thanks.

I think the absence on an mention of "Member's Guests" for those travelling in Business means no guesting.

There is such mention for WP (3 guests) & SG (1 Guest).

Sorry, I meant to type "CAN'T", not "can". Oops. So your reading is the same as mine so I'd say no guest in that case.

Thanks!

AinNZ lounge ... by way of either your *E or your WP.

You need to be on a SQ flight to access their lounge using WP.

(If you were flying NZ, then *A access to SQ lounge.)

Can anyone confirm whether Alitalia status holders are able to bring a guest when accessing the VA lounges before a domestic flight?

If these are the same rules as for AB - yes - guests are included, but you will not find this info anywhere...

I would think no status based lounge access at LAX, unless DL and EY have some form of partnership.

Wouldn't I have the same access as a normal VA gold holder as it's a VA partner flight?
