Gold Coast Virgin Lounge closed "for construction"

[harryhv]

"Closed for construction" whatever that means. They give you a voucher for the cafes instead

Interesting - no mention of a closure on the VA website.

Is this just a temporary thing for today? I note that the voucher expires today.

Let's see, I'll be travelling tomorrow

You might be able to buy an entire pint with $16 if you lower your standards

Very confused... VA on twitter confirms that the OOL lounge is open?

They only had Peroni or Stella at Blackstock Bar on Saturday and it was $17 a pint. Got an email regarding lounge closure for the weekend on Friday as I was flying on Saturday.

$17 a pint

Wow...that's quite something.

It's funny that VA values the lounge at $65 a pop but when they have to pay up they can't even comp you the value of a drink.

The Lounge in OOL is open, it was only closed for a few hours yesterday as they were replacing the carpet.

Interesting, cause I was going to post the Perth lounge was having carpet replaced. A part was sectioned off on Friday and by Sunday it was complete.

Yes and that's an interesting point. It's just that due to the smaller floor space in the OOL Lounge (& entry/exit point) it was impossible to only close part of it off for this type of job.

More expensive than Oslo!! 17 dollars a pint is just ridiculous.

And to make matters worse, due to a mis-calculation on my part I ended the week 3 SC short of retaining Gold, hopefully Coles FB SC will come to the rescue as I have nothing else planned at the moment.

Was paying $15 on average in Sydney last week at various city bars.

USA is pretty expensive these days too considering the exchange rate.

Does that mean a carpet replacement should only take a day and not have the lounge closed for weeks like Qantas.

Depends on the quality of the carpet....and the Contractor...
