Virgin Australia Townsville Lounge?

[Tuddy]

The current timeframe for new lounges is.

CBR, (2012) MEL & SYD INTL (early 2013), HBA(2013), DRW(2013), PER (2014).
Add TSV to that and it becomes pretty capital intensive, maybe CNS will have to wait a little bit.

I didn't think MEL Intl. and SYD Intl. had been confirmed for DJ lounges, whilst EY had confirmed their own brand of lounge for those ports (can't remember where I read that, AusBT perhaps). Also, the CBR opening dates appear a bit murky (the CBR Airport website itself can't seem to make up its mind when the terminal is opening only saying that construction will finish this year - but not when passengers will start using it. Perhaps TSV for 2014?

I was told today at lunch time in the CBR lounge that the date for the opening of the new terminal has slipped to mid 2013 from it's original Feb 2013.

Good to hear of the proposed Lounge in Townsville - may help my justification to keep a foot in both camps (VA and QF). The possibility of your own home port being Jetstarized also tends to focus customers attention, as the OOL crowd will attest to!

There seems like a lot of underutilized space in the older southern part of the Townsville terminal that they really should have made better use of when they did a fairly major expansion a few years ago.

Anyway - good luck to the CNS people about getting their own VA lounge soon, they deserve a break.
