OP, is your AU domestic flight in J? Adding the domestic sector to my TPAC flight was cheaper than two separate tx and kept me in J. Cheaper than buying a separate domestic economy tx.

Had about 3 hrs between flights. Used the Virgin AU bus over to the other terminal. Very convenient after customs hall. A bit surprised at how far it was to the other terminal.

My tx got me into the lounge. On the small side. Crowded. Food better than an MLL but nothing to write home about. Just a few choices. After the TPAC, not that hungry but appreciated the latte machine

AC33’s more or less ontime arrival got me over there while a breakfast menu was being served. They shifted to lunch shortly after my arrival. Newspapers, no magazines. Didn’t have a chance to try out showers. Wi-Fi connection was tricky. Needed agent’s help to connect. Can’t remember the issue but he had to really work at it.

fyi, lunch served on domestic flight. Not a bad meal.
