Best Virgin and partner lounges

[blueturkey]

What do you reckon the best Virgin domestic and international partner lounges are? My votes would be

Domestic
Best: VA MEL
Worst: VA SYD

Intl
Best: Silver Kris Lounge MEL (I suspect this will change to Star Alliance Lounge LAX after upcoming trip)
Worst: KrisFlyer Gold Lounge SIN (simply for not having toilets in the lounge)

You haven't been to ADL if you think the VA SYD lounge is the worst.

Can't remember ADL. SYD has got better but up stairs is never open now and down stairs sucks.

OOL is a great lounge with good views over the runway. It's small but I have never had a problem getting a seat

Without a doubt the best International lounge is the *A lounge at TBIT

I loved the LAX Star Alliance Lounge. The outdoor area was really enjoyable.

1st Class LAX *A Lounge, EY Lounge (especially with the upcoming upgrade at AUH airport), EY Lounge SYD are all pretty damn good (IMHO anyway).

VA MEL is great with the new coffee bar and premium exit points.
VA CNS in second. Nice large area with views.
VA ADL my home base, not great in comparison to the above, but rarely full.

International wise - Contracted lounge in DPS is pretty poor.

VA TSV, my home base, haven't had one good experience there. :]

Hands down the very, very best partner lounge is the VS Club House at LHR.

VA TSV, my home base, haven't had one good experience there. :]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that one.

The VA PER lounge is quite ordinary. The new EY premium lounge at AUH Terminal 3 is pretty poor in comparison to the EK lounges at DXB (particularly at the A gates).

Biggest disappointment is the SQ KF gold lounge at SIN T3. SQ really want you to fly in J/F.

Fave Domestic Lounge: VA CNS (Amazing views and super comfortable because its so new)
Second Favourite: MEL, only because its home and being there so often, the novelty wears off...

Least fave: Brisbane... During renovations ( enough said)

Fave INTL: Etihad Sydney.

CNS & OOL are pretty similar, CNS is just bigger... And a heck of a long walk to the gates compared with the OOL Lounge

MEL & SYD are nice, when not busy; Never been to Level 2!! The Mini-Lounge at BNE is great too, though can't wait til the Premium Entry opens (And the temp. walls are gone with)

ADL & PER are very average; Atleast I can see PER being awesome when they move terminals & the new lounge opens.

Only visited BNE/AKL/WLG Koru Lounges so won't comment on Int. Lounges

Will be using the BNE Koru (morning flight) next month. How does it compare with SYD? Haven't great things.

Food offerings less than Syd. but I found them sufficient. Beverages were same same. The view in BNE is of the carpark rather than the apron in Sydney.

Overall, Sydney better IMO.
