Lounge access for Etihad Guest Gold Member

[caids]

Hi everyone

I am not sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find the answer. I am an Etihad guest gold member flying on a domestic virgin flight. My question is can I still access a virgin lounge if I want to credit the flight to my velocity account or can I only access the lounge if I credit it to the Etihad guest program?

Lounge access is dependent on what flight you are on, not who you credit to, should not be an issue.

CheersThanks for that markis10.

At the risk of dredging up an old thread, I cannot find anywhere on the Etihad site where this status benefit is shown (reciprocal access to partner lounges) ? But it appears on the Virgin site:

Etihad Airways | Virgin Australia

Anyone ?

Cinema? Alaska Airlines?

That's a bit dated.
