Nice! Virgin's business service looks quite pleasant. Wonder what it's like at mealtimes?

I found the Virgin lounge in MEL quite pleasant when I was there a few months ago (pre renovation), but odd in that the only booze they had was beer and wine, none of the hard stuff, so my traditional lounge G&T went by the wayside. At least the wine was decent - and to be honest, the main reason I'm in the habit of drinking G&Ts in airport lounges was that after living in the US for most of the last 5 years I had learned that they were the only things worth drinking in CO/UA/AC lounges...

As for being cold, it's amazing how cold Australia can feel, even in quite mild temperatures. The concept of insulation or in-home heating is sadly alien here.
