Sad to say this, but every booking that exist on the newly updated, VA booking website, in the past, the last 3 columns that are listed for J (business class), used to have "lounge access", with a green tick.
Now, the listing of "lounge access" is not even mentioned on the booking website.
Writing on the wall, despite VA under Bain saying, they will keep most lounges.
Up to April/May, 2021, (haven't checked further), no lounge access line appears.
Will be sad if VAd keeps J on the plane, but does not have lounge access, and on an aside, fares have jumped quite a lot post pandemic, schedules have gone downhill.
Looks like they will keep lounges closed for the forseeable future, by and by.
