To access the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse Lounge at LAX via Priority Pass, you would need to pay a USD35 (~AU$55) surcharge. It’s not the first Priority Pass lounge to add a surcharge.
Many airlines offer airport lounge access on arrival to Business & First class passengers, as well as frequent flyers with elite status.
Qantas is reaccommodating its frequent flyers, Qantas Club members and Business Class passengers in the Emirates and Strata Lounges until early 2026, while it refurbishes its Auckland Lounge.
Qantas passengers who are eligible for lounge access can now use the Cathay Pacific Lounge when departing Vancouver on QF76. This is a big upgrade over the previous SkyTeam Lounge.
