Melbourne Qantas First Lounge Closed most October 2025

[Virgin Bart]

Reporting back from this morning:
Received a bag as we walked out of the lounge to board.. Too shy to tell them we’d like to take two bags as we are both Plat and inconvenient!

Thanks. P1 or WP?

Visited lounge earlier this week for breakfast.

Menu as per photo posted earlier.

Received gift as WP on entry.

They were also offering 10min neck/shoulder massages.

Visited today. It’s still a nice place with what they have done to minimise the disruption. Of course the view is gone but the service seems more proactive. Love the neck massage. And the gift bag is a nice touch. Maybe I just had low expectations. Service changed to lunch was much earlier by 1130 they were starting to change to all day dining. I really did not need to eat but was curious. The crudo and lamb was good.

Looks like a fair amount of work going on based on this pic I took from the domestic J lounge. Can see the AC ducts sitting on the floor.

Can’t imagine any noticeable changes to passengers. If there is, wouldn’t they be eager to announce them? I guess we’ll find out soon enough!

WP only.

from the messages it seems that if your not on a A380 to the US in the morning that the lounge is still a fine experience. When i was there it was packed and not enough seats etc. Will be off to NZ next week and im sure it will be grand. hope the updated F lounge is a cool space
