Revised International Lounge Access Page

[jase05]

The EY lounge was pretty good in CDG and my understanding is that you would have access to lounges in both FRA and BRU also.
EY has a pretty good lounge network across Europe that VA WP’s can access

In theory if you want access you need to fly out of London Heathrow.

At most Singapore Airlines ports use Star alliance lounges however some don't and check in agents give star Gold and business class a voucher at check in. Technically Virgin Gold/Platinum aren't meant to receive this voucher however they occasional are handed it by mistake.

No way to guarantee this will happen though.

The OP has stated they are flying EY in which case they would have lounge access in all 3 ports they have listed

Thanks Henrus.

Do you any experience on the current Etihad situation for VA Platinums flying Economy?

Just mixing it up. I have never flown Etihad before. I have always used SIA.

Etihad have been on a cost cutting spree over the past 2 years. I flew them SYD-AUH-ATH return in September last year and as a VA platinum you only got extra baggage and priority boarding. No priority seating or better in flight service. The meals were ordinary and compared to SQ their entertainment and seat comfort was well below. Wont be flying EY anytime soon.

Etihad is different to Singapore. You get the full lounge experience at every port they fly to even if it's a contract lounge.

Singapore technically VA Gold/Plat only gets access to Singapore Airlines owned and operated lounges
