Virgin Australia lounge access is included for GM+ (see previous post). This was automatic with partner gold indicated on the boarding pass I was provided a LAX loft lounge invite for 1 and a guest. Very nice experience prior to the long LAX-SYD leg.

I was able to get a premium economy seat upgrade but it took some effort. I gave the VA loft lounge service rep. a printout of the PE seat I had selected on delta.com and showed him that the delta app was still showing a PE seat selected prior to boarding. This was strange because I had called VA to get a seat assignment on their system (in E). I also was upfront that the DL seat status was "requested", but my only point was that I ws able to select PE seats at booking. This may be a glitch (may have been fixed) integrating the 2 carrier systems. In any case, guest relations came through and was able to get a PE seat.
