I would say none if they are "shared lounges"

I will try Little Red next week. Not too fussed about the lounges: the VA Plat isn't going to get me anywhere the Priority Pass couldn't, and that is rarely very far above nothing at all.

You're absolutely right - I didn't even think about the fact that they're shared lounges. That said, they should all be available for pay per entry.

Well, six weeks of VS Little Red flying the UK skies and not one of my 7 sectors has posted to Velocity. The on board experience is great - much more comfortable than BA. Velocity WP gets Fastrack Security access in both London and Edinburgh. Priority Boarding happens more often than not. Even had lounge access at LHR a couple of times, although that wasn't and shouldn't be expected.

Just want the SCs and a few miles from VS to VA....
