Two month trial of Platinum Plus

I noticed this in the MEL lounge today. It's where the old security checkpoint was.
I wonder if this is earmarked for P+ from October 1st.

Don’t think so

Nice if it was! It’s been used as an overflow lounge for the last couple of years during peak times.

And outside of that time it seems to be taken over as a staff room...

Looking forward to the Aussie Call Centre

Another perk that hasn’t been mentioned much is the increase in baggage from 3.23kg to 5x32kg bags!

Useful for moving interstate?

And for me, I have been hit with $60-$90 excess baggage fees for a 26kg bag several times this year, so I will welcome that change

I can't help but think it's a little silly that you have to climb all the way to Plat Plus on VA to bring even a single 32kg bag in economy on domestic without being hit with a fee, whereas on Qantas, 32kg is standard from Silver and up, and given to Qantas Club as well.
