Virgin Australia flights to Doha

[FlyingKangaroo]

I don’t understand what will happen when the wet lease period finishes, it will be Qatar’s hard product but virgin crew and service, will Qatar even want that or will the flights just stop entirely?

If they did convert to a dry lease, they'd almost certainly repaint in VA colours which would also lessen association with QR. Sure, the seats might be the same, but the average punter wouldn't have a clue.

What does lounge access look like for partner airline elites on these flights? QR uses the NZ lounge in Perth, will I have access as either SQ Gold (VA Partner) or QF Plat? I don't like my chances.

Sorry dont think so, would need to have VA status or QF status on a QR prime flight
