Correct, I'm on VA metal and VA flight numberNot if you are flying on Virgin
I don’t think you’re flying to AKL on Virgin somehow. They don’t fly there!Flying to AKl J Virgin . Virgin Gold and no lounge access yet by the looks of things. Strange can't use one of the partner lounges.
You are right, I am going to ZQN! Had a mind blank thinking NZ put AKL.....Will change my post....Still flying Virgin though on Virgin International.I don’t think you’re flying to AKL on Virgin somehow. They don’t fly there!
Depending on which day you leave the Plaza Premium lounge might be open. Some Amex/Dragon Pass card holders can get free/cheaper access otherwise it's AU$57 per person for 2 hours which I'd say isn't worth it, you can buy a lot of food and drinks for $57 in the main terminal. There are ways to get a free dragon pass account that allows access at 19 gbp per visit (~AU$33).Is there any other lounge that can be accessed. ie Amex lounge etc
OK thanks for the info, My trip isn't until September so hopefully VA can get something in place before then.This should change next month when my lounge reopens although for VA pax the only way will be to pay in as they still don't have any international lounge agreements.

You can buy access to the Plaza Premium Lounge, but I'd suggest just going to one of the bars instead.Is there any other lounge that can be accessed. ie Amex lounge etc
p.s who ever changed my thread title from capitals...thanks
At BNE international that's actually quite easy to find. Down near gate 76 there are some seats in front a large screen that don't really get used throughout the day until the evening emirates A380 departure. On quieter days all the gates between 76 and 73 can be totally empty as well.Yes thanks, @ $57 p.p I'll wait airside with the other common people lol. I don't go to the lounges to fill up on food and grog. I go for some peace and quiet and a "sort of" comfortable seat so i'll find a quiet corner somewhere
Yes I know that area well. I've been down there beforeAt BNE international that's actually quite easy to find.

That must be My Lounge but at least she will no longer be upset at it...I remember before a flight to LAX, there was a tiny little lounge that felt like a pop-up in the middle of a thoroughfare. Some lady was quite upset about it, so she called VA customer service and for the next 30 minutes the rest of us had to listen to her screaming down the phone line about the state of the lounge :\
Yep it still exists, when I passed through a few weeks ago it still looks like it's frozen in time back in 2020 (hasn't been touched since then). It's expected to reopen next month and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the long haul non alliance carriers into Brisbane that use swissport switch to it.Although the options at BNE have never been great, even pre-pandemic.
