VA: free Economy X for WPs, priority boarding that is actually enforced, generous fly ahead policy for WPs, better cabin crew, decent lounges with wide range of wines and beers. But, yeah, no spirits so definitely a very inferior offering compared to QF...

Not that spirits matters all that much anyway. Cocktails are one thing but vodka and a soda gun mixer always feel a bit nightclub like in the QF Clubs.

Just wondering if Virgin are ever likely to introduce spirits in their domestic lounges? If not, why not?
