Virgin America Lounge access

[albyd]

Hi,

I'll be flying Virgin Australia in J from SYD to LAX so understand my ticket gives me Koru lounge access in SYD & *Alliance lounge access at JFK on my flight home.

I've looked on the virgin website & suggests I have Virgin America lounge access (I'm flying in "first") in LAX but doesn't list any other options for my return journey from JFK. Has anyone had any experience with this flying from JFK with Virgin America? The virgin Australian) call centre didn't know the answer.

While I have only flown DL from JFK, I'm reasonably sure the only lounge you have access to is the VS Clubhouse for $75. You're VFF status will only get you into the VX loft at LAX.

Thanks for the information jneufeld - much appreciated. Might just pay for access to the Club House then. Will the clubhouse be in a different terminal as Virgin Atlantic is an international airline and Virgin America is a domestic airline?

Priority Pass lounges on the PP app don't look anything special (happy to be told otherwise if someone has experienced them).

Correct. While being a member of velocity owned by virgin you can not access the virgin atlantic lounge on a virgin america flight. I know that virgin has a lot of gaps in their "alliance" but you would think they could at least get it right within their own group.

Word to the wise, Just got to VX loft lounge at LAX. Only revenue "first" class tickets are eligible for entry to the lounge. Mine was a reward ticket through VA redemption. Luckily had my priority pass card with me.
