New Mackay Lounge now open - Priority Boarding also available

[Noob]

Let's remember this is a Regional Virgin Australia Lounge which competes with other regional lounges i.e. regional Qantas Clubs not major port lounges.

You mean rooms with a sofa, a six pack in the fridge and if your lucky a unisex loo?

Don't you mean if you are lucky you will get a seat and there might be a beer in the fridge.

Excellent news and quickly built too!. Wish OOL was open now aswell.
Good reason to visit Mackay though.

I thought that OOL Lounge was already open, am I wrong?

Just checked, I was wrong- Drat- flying out of OOL for the first time NY Day

Will check it out in Feb or maybe Jan.

Will there be any issues with possibly-slightly-dirty high-vis and entry to the lounge?

I hope to christ that the increased flights means I finally get moved off Jetstar and can start flying VA to get some points! goddam_ work's terrible BFoD strictness.

Personally, I have no issue with Hi-Vis......beats walking around in your birthday suit! You may however, get some lofty nose attitudes but let's face it, DJ are looking to FIFO mine workers as a rewarding renewable (excuse the play on words) income source, so I doubt they'll be adding a "no Hi-Vis" policy any time soon. I wonder if they have a shower at MKY lounge. That would seem ideal for you to use as a way for the company to spring for the higher fare and to change into something more casual for the trip home!

As for BFoD........if that is all they go by, I doubt you'll be in luck. JQ seems to win that one pretty constantly.
