    Has anyone used the VA lounge on arrival recently?

    I read a media report that lounge on arrival access was no longer available. I rang Velocity this morning to check and was advised by the Platinum team member it was not and never available. When I said it used to be available and was still in the lounge access conditions she seemed confused...

Apparently they have no catering contract and therefore no ice can't keep food cold, hence the snack box, limited beers on board and no sparkling. We used out Platinum upgrades and I would have been fairly...

    Keep Virgin Australia in the Skies

    I totally agree, I hope they survive but the lack of customer service and support shown over the last few weeks will have me seriously reviewing my travel habits when we can fly again. I have had multiple flights effected by the COVID issue and have had customer service agents that are either...

    SASCO Le Saigonnais Lounge - Ho Chi Minh

    Hi All, Has anyone had any luck in using this lounge in Ho Chi Minh with VA platinum status? Its not a SIA Lounge but our previous Silk Air connecting to Singapore Airlines out of Malaysia gave us lounge access. Travelling with two grumpy children mean its a bonus if we can access it. Thanks
