Virgin Sydney Premium Entry Permanently Closing

[RooFlyer]

I would encourage every loyal VA flyer to reply to the email and let them know how you feel.

As in

Dear Virgin. <yawn>. ?

What a shame. I absolutely loved the SYD Premium Entry when I was travelling for work pre-COVID. That was one of the major reasons why I decided to fly VA over QF (which most of my colleague flew on, at our work's higher expenses) for work. It was so convenient to just go straight to lounge via Premium Entry. I ended making VA Platinum for 2 years on purely VA Y domestic flying, so lots of sectors.

Of course, the new VA is completely different from the pre-COVID VA. The strategy is different and cost trumps everything else. I no longer fly for work anymore so it doesn't affect me, but what a bummer for the regular VA flyers.
