Review: Virgin Australia’s exclusive Sydney Beyond Lounge
Dec 23, 2022, 12:10 PMWhilst in my 14th year of loyalty to 'brand-Virgin' and having been in VA's 'VIP Lounge' twice over the last 18 months, my own opinion is that its sole virtue is the 'exclusivity' it offers to those who feel entitled/privileged to use it so they don't have to rub shoulders with people like me.&nb...

VA Lounge Access BNE/SYD/MLB International

'My Lounge' isn't open (yet/still) and the 'Plaza Premium' operates only 5:00pm-10:30pm. Now, I get it that Virgin has only recently resumed flights to Bali, but honestly...
