Hi all, I will be flying out of BNE on VA early November. Can anyone tell me if it is still the Plaza Premium Lounge for platinum members in business?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Depends where you're flying to... After the Virgin "My Lounge" opens obviously everyone will be sent to it.
For the meantime:
Business, Platinum and Gold flying to Los Angeles will continue to use the Singapore Airlines Lounge.
Business and Platinum on all other VA flights (including to NZ) will have access to the Plaza Premium.
Gold on all other VA flights (including to NZ) will get food/drink vouchers. I don't know how much and where they're valid but if they're anything like the standard ones they hand out for delays expect a few $7 vouchers on boarding pass paper.
Did this change recently? Flew to Vanuatu in Y as a gold and Plaza Premium wasn't an issue.Depends where you're flying to... After the Virgin "My Lounge" opens obviously everyone will be sent to it.

Ewww. Thanks for the update.Changed yesterday.
The new "my Lounge" is listed to open in around 2-3 weeks (then it will become the main VA lounge).
Until this time Golds get vouchers however they might allow access to the Plaza Premium space dependent.

No its not. I flew out of BNE a month ago, and it was another lounge, i cant even remember, maybe Singapore Airlines. Its really not much of an issue, the checkin desk told me which lounge to go to.

Sorry Henrus, one more question. For my upcoming flight on Saturday (3rd Nov, after changes but BEFORE new lounge opens) is it in writing on the VA website somewhere that I will have access to Singapore lounge? Don't want to get stuck without a lounge.
I'm flying to Honiara next week and got an email advising that until the 'My Lounge' is open as a Gold, I'll be given a $40 voucher to spend at any food and beverage outlet.
Any suggestions for what is the best place for breakfast?
My suggestion would be the Brisbane River Grill. It's half way between the duty free store exit and the Qantas club on the left.
$40 would easily get a Smashed Avo on Toast or cooked breakfast (bacon, eggs etc) and a juice (I'd suggest the watermelon, pineapple and mint).

Windmill and Co (along the front between gates 81 and 80) is also good but they tend to do a much better lunch than breakfast.
This worked out well Henrus. Even the check in supervisor recommended it while filling out the voucher. I didn't see much action in terms of building the new lounge down at gate 77. Just some furniture removed.My suggestion would be the Brisbane River Grill. It's half way between the duty free store exit and the Qantas club on the left.

The Hobart lounge was opening in mid 2014 so I'm not holding my breath
