Thanks for this definitive thread. Question: Do DJ insist on seeing a boarding pass for WP? Have a friend flying back to MEL on Sunday and wanted to guest them in at SYD T2. I know the QFlink lounge just allow you to flash your card for entry.

Great work Jinxy!
A few minor things:
Possibly worth clarifying which lounges are for Lounge members (VA domestic, Air NZ trans tasman and domestic) and which are for Gold/ Plat (most of the others)
I'm not sure the information at the bottom about VA international short haul ex Wellington and Christchurch isn't out of date. When i flew out of CHC recently it was the Air NZ lounge.

As some of us have access to the names of The Lounge Managers for pre-arrival issues, it might be handy to include them.
A lot of us know the BNE (or more correctly BNE & MKY) Lounge Goddess, Annette

There is no lounge for VX guests AFAIK as VX do not have a lounge of their own (you may be able to buy lounge access to the VS clubhouse but i have never looked into it). There is only lounge access for Delta on this route.

On the Virgin America web site there's a link for the airport lounge & clubhouse which if you select JFK talks about a $35 charge.
Just wondering if the charge applies to GOLD/PLATINUM members or business class ticket holders connecting the VA flight out of LAX?
Can anyone shed light on this?

IF you are talking about travelling via LAX on a VX service there is no lounge access at all.

If you are on VA flight LAX-Australia you can use the "temporary" VA lounge in the old Alaska airlines board room. It is, by all reports, totally rubbish as it currently has no liquor license among other issues. I have no idea how long this situation will last but it is free.
