Yeah, the annoying thing is that "partner" status doesn't get exactly the same as VA status (into the international lounges in Australia). The domestic lounges are fantastic and love the Premium entry features, but how the Aussies designed the domestic and international terminals miles away.....Have a LAX-MEL flight this week so will let you know if I'm at all successful in getting into the TBIT lounge or something in MEL on the return (I do have PP and SC memberships)
