Following on from the successful opening of The Blue Rooms in Brisbane and Sydney, Virgin Blue announces the opening of the Melbourne Blue Room. Flying in the face of traditional airport lounges, The Blue Room is not about free celery sticks and coughtail onions, it’s about modern high-tech facilities offering a range of fabulous features.
In the Blue Room, you can catch up on some work, or catch up on some rest. Each lounge is equipped with courtesy data access points, photocopier and fax, cinema and Sony Playstation®2 consoles. The option is yours to pay and enjoy a massage, a meal or a latte.

Companies wishing to purchase 10 or more passports should contact the National Sales Co-ordinator on 07 3295 3055 to achieve great value discounts. If you can't decide, take us up on our trial entry offer of $5, available at the Blue Room reception. Once you enter, you'll find it hard not to lounge.

• You will find the Sydney Blue Room located on the food court level, in Terminal 2, just below the escalators.
• The Brisbane Blue Room is located opposite gate 41.
• In Melbourne, go down the escalators from check-in, and turn left before the security scanning point.

I could never figure out how they managed to resist calling the cinema area "Blue Movies."

 

[Blinky]

Jeez, I've forgotten about the "cinemas". I only ever saw no more than four viewers.

The cinema - remember watching Maid in Manhattan in the Brisbane Blue room. That was when you could buy single entry passes but IIRC you had to pay for drinks.

Used the bne lounge a few times by paying the casual entry fee. Aah those were the days. Now quite happy that I get free access and food/booze is included.
