Lounge Access in BNE Intl
Flying next week to NAN on VA (economy) connecting in BNE. We will be coming from YVR on AC in Business Class, however the ticket is a UA award ticket.
I'm assuming I won't be able to use the SIlverKris or NZ lounges, since departing flight isn't *A (even though i'm on *A business class ticket and *G). Any other options for lounge access?
*Clarification - The entire trip is on a single ticket - not a seperate ticket.

Flying VA economy will not get you into any alliance departure lounge.
Check if any credit card you have has lounge access.

Edit
Even flying business class on a VA international flight would not give you lounge access.

Lounge access at Brisbane Airport. I am silver with a silver lounge access. I just read the terms and I noted it is only for the domestic lounge.
Can I use the voucher in the domestic lounge and then bus over to the international gate ?

No. Also it would just not be worth it anyhow. It's not a great airport generally and VA don't seem bothered in providing an international lounge despite having a fair few international departures. Also it's a bit of a walk from the central terminal area in departure area to the VA gates ...
