I won't be there this afternoon, but thanks to Virgin Australia for the lounge pass. I'll have to use it in Melbourne

Can you do that? Would they bother attaching some kind of note to it somehow?

Here now. Very loud in the first section, but there's a beautiful quiet section right behind the entry desk. Right and right again.

The bar opens at 11?....an hour before the bar in the QP? IS that correct or am I delusional?

Food isn't bad

The DJ bar always has for as long as i can recall.

Premium beers here, nice sparkling (Lindemans I believe, though they're still referring to it as champagne).

Food selections are soup, assorted breads and salads, toasted sandwich maker, quiches being handed out. Lots of staff right now, but don't expect that in the future, too many tbh.

Looks good, but has the same problem that the QP has in BNE... No views of the planes from inside the lounge.

Don't forget the mini orange and poppy seed muffins.

Not a biggie here. Seen enough planes to last several lifetimes. Only regret was missing out on a Concord flight. Been in several while on the ground. Not a good space for someone 1.9 mtrs tall.

Toasted sandwiches and metal knives!

Re: The DJ BNE Lounge is now open!

Really nice lounge, very much a scaled down version of the Melbourne lounge, same feel etc, very pleasant.

I am left wondering how long it'll be until they need to expand it given their growing base of Gold FF's, but you can't fault the lounge itself, it's miles ahead of the QP.

I've posted some pics I took this afternoon on my fanpage Virgin Australia Lounge | Facebook
