What happens when a VA Gold member travels through Berlin on an AB flight? Can they access the AF lounge (which is the lounge AB uses there)? If the same logic applies as in Sydney then the answer is no.
You might not able to because VA Gold only have access to AB lounges. You can always ask when you check in, and they can give you a voucher to ebter the lounge.

By the way have fun in Fiji! I missed the sun there already!
