Virgin Australia booking with Krisflyer Gold Elite

Hi All,

I've been on the phone to Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines respective frequent flyer programs trying to get some clarification but they're either giving me the runaround or providing conflicting information.

I'm not a Velocity FF member, and basically what I want to find out is whether if I book a Y class DJ flight (PER to MEL) on the 'Saver' fare, whether I get any benefits with my Krisflyer Gold Elite status?

I am pretty (99%) sure that Krisflyer Gold allows;
1) access to the Virgin Lounges
2) Points will get credited to my Krisflyer account (although not contribute to Status Points)

Would I get any other benefits such as advanced seat selection, complimentary baggage, priority check-in etc, that Velocity Gold members get on the Saver fare? I read on the SQ website that Krisflyer Elite members get 32kg on DJ flights, however the FF representative suggested otherwise as they are a Partner airline and not Star Alliance.

Any clarification would be great!

Thanks.
