"Premium Guest Service Experience" at OOL? Surely that is a typo?
 
#722 Thread.... Appears there is a considerable amount of interest & pent up demand for this lounge opening! I surely, amongst many others look forward to the experience @ OOL.. Sure hope it lives up to the expectations.. Otherwise, a great PR & marketing exercise for Virgin.:p

OOL? The city with more Platinums than any other in Australia? I think that it's a much needed role.
 
Annette is the BNE lounge manager

Regardless of whom the new lounge manager may be, if they're even close to replicating Annette's ability, then they're my choice! Now, if Annette does indeed reside on the fabulous GC, a transfer request may already be in the pipeline.......that would make me one very happy OOL'ite :mrgreen:
 
so any word on whether there'll be aff-exclusive festivitites? were any of you able to get onto the right person to ensure such an undertaking?

If people could give me times and dates I will be happy to call and make the arrangements. I may also need numbers of attendees. Thanks
 
Didn't take a photo as I didn't think it would do it justice, but the lighting was on tonight... The purple glow looks pretty cool. 7 days and counting down...!
 
Just flew into OOL and the lounge is looking good, the roof was lit up and everything blocking the windows in has been removed. Looking nice!!

Will endeavour to get a photo when I fly out this evening.
 
A big white curtain with a purple light shining on it. So pretty.

Had a good look at the lounge before my flight, I think the entrance will be right next to the desk at gate one. If you look from outside (walk out of gate two and look back) you can see a set of stairs going upstairs.

It looms very pretty.

Yes, the entrance will be near Gate 1 :) That's where the hoarding has been up for ages :)

I am happy they put a curtain, that appears to be permanent, I was thinking they may have just left it open to view!
 
I've just been down there.. Also viewed From outside.. Wow that mood lighting has some resemblance to a 70's disco.. Kind of nice ambience :D
 
As self-declared mayor of OOL, I created a Facebook Checkin for the Lounge.

I believe there's some way I can transfer ownership of the place to Virgin Australia, if you know how to do this... let me know.

Better having Liam R as Mayor than Tom T :-)
 
So assuming the magical, mystical, mythical and whimsical OOL lounge is on track for a 30 May opening, are we on for 1400 2 June?

I've honestly no idea. Previous lounge excursions have netted in the late teens, but they weren't an opening for such a long awaited product. Perhaps we just say turn up with a purple piece of attire (for identification). Anyone who needs guesting post on here and we'll see if there any shortfalls over available guest spots amongst the golds/plats, to plead with the angels over. A friendly "warning" to lounge staff and it's then done!
 
I will start the process to help with an estimate, I will come along, can guest at least one.


Excuse the typos, this was sent from my iPhone using Fat fingers
 
I'll be around later in the day or maybe on Sunday, but it's weather dependant.. At this stage looking like a wet weekend in QLD but need a few more days for the weather charts to really show what should happen

I have 3 free guest spots, IF I make it
