They were also in OOL last week!
The VA lounge at OOL is a welcome reprieve at any time though.
Hot Dog 'cuisine" or not..

Anyone have any experience for Sunday afternoons recently? I'll be there next Sunday for a 1730 departure so curious how it is from about 1600-1715. I've never been in the MEL lounge before so at least I don't have anything to compare it to!
was there last weekend, quite busy but there were delays out of Melbourne due to the storm in Sydney. It wasn't 'standing room only' there were a few seats free, but definitely felt busy (possibly more so due to lack of space with construction)Anyone have any experience for Sunday afternoons recently?

Haven't been at that time for a month or two but it was busy enough - pretty much every seat taken (some by bags) in normal area but with only short waits for food or drinks.

Cheers for that.
I'm guesting in friends who are dropping us off at the airport so fingers crossed it's not an embarrassment at the time
It seems VA is just not a premium airline!!
Hopefully it isnt peak hour when you/your friends travel, otherwise it'll be standing room only.
Hmm. I was feeling pretty patient about it until I was back there the other day and it really does look like there is still a looooong way to go and yes it was pretty chaotic and unpleasant. Perhaps a worse experience than the Perth lounge which, I actually walked out of last week to sit in the public area which at Perth is really a pretty major condemntation of the lounge.
The following is the answer I received this afternoon from the Melbourne Lounge Manager. Hopefully that will satisfy people for a while.I have sent an email off to the Lounge Manager to see if we can get an update.
