I'm in the VA Lounge thread

[TMP]

Currently in VA Lounge MEL, this is apparently the breakfast of frittata, with skinless chicken sausages. Dry as hell …..

Those skinless sausages strike again! Awful.

 

[simmomelb]

The.day they replace those sausages with just about anything else, I'll be pleased.
It's rare to find many that like them.

 

[bam71]

Who would like them - it was like a dried oatmeal loaf

 

[Must...Fly!]

Yep. Probably the worst thing I've ever eaten at a VA lounge.

I wish I was in the VA lounge. They’ve closed SYD to anyone below gold, and not allowing Amex cardholders in either. Ironically, tonight’s flight will qualify me for gold. So near, yet so far.

 

[alexczarn]

it's always been closed to anyone below Gold, unless you're on a J ticket

They're probably referring to silver members with lounge invitations or eligible credit card holders.

Unfortunately it happens time to time.
As a Plat I've been turned away/told to wait when the lounge is full.

Always..... Hardly, very false claim.

Hey MooTime
Who else is it open to? I know silver get 2 passes, but other than Gold, Plat and bus (and partner airline status), who else can enter?
I don't think they let any premium credit card holders in, as they don't have any agreements that I can find.

Velocity high flyer credit card has 2 entries per year.
SQ, UA and QR and other partner Airlines surely allow their status holders in, no?

But i was referring to lounge being open to anybody that had valid entry, me saying they don't refuse entry to those apart from below gold as the poster mentioned.

Ahem! Getting the thread back on topic ...

I am in the SYD dom lounge for the next couple of hours.

 

[maia200]

Brisbane lounge until 14.20. Lunch menu. Lots of staff seem to be replenishing the food fairly quickly. Lounge is not busy.

Finally got to try a Betty’s burger in the BNE lounge this evening.



On the down side, there are toenail clippings all around my seat. (And no; they aren’t mine!)

Some people are downright discusting :/
Great you got some valuable time with aunt Betty

Good spread and variety in OOL lounge this evening. Have a soft spot for this lounge and glad it survived the lounge cull

 

[BRIS_VA_HAWK]

In the BNE lounge till 12:30ish, can guest 3.
On the menu is vegan chickpea gnocchi with tomato sugar, rocket and parmesan. Looks good, but not self-serve
VERY quiet at both bag drop and security, so no complaints!

[kerfuffle]

No bacon or sausages in the Sydney lounge this morning Closest thing is some breakfast taco with baked beans; no thanks. I. Want. Bacon!

 

[Muppet501st]

i havent been in the BNE lounge for nearly 12 months since swapping over to QF, pretty average offerings, ended up using my PP and bringing breakfast back into the lounge.
