- Priority boarding
- Priority security (where available)
- One additional checked bag (except on Virgin Australia Economy Lite fares)
- Access to Virgin Australia operated lounges (available at 7 Australian airports)
United MileagePlus members can earn award miles, but not Premier qualifying credits, on Virgin Australia flights.
I did not know that! Will definitely choose Virgin based on that.
