On this blog, I rarely talk about Domestic travel as it’s nowhere near as exciting and exotic as International travel, however, I get a lot of questions from travellers overseas wanting to see reviews of Australia’s domestic lounges, so I’ve decided to start reviewing them This morning I was flying out of my home airport Brisbane on Virgin Australia so I thought I’d review it.
Virgin Australia Brisbane Lounge
To enter the lounge you have to be travelling or connecting onto a Business class ticket, Platinum and Gold members, Silver members who have two entry passes, American Express Centurion & Platinum Charge business and personal, American Express Virgin Australia Platinum card and elite members of Virgin’s partner airlines.

The highlight of the lounge is the coffee bar, fresh coffee made to order is a wonderful feature, especially for early morning flights.

Bottom Line
The lounge is pretty good for a Domestic airport, would I purposely spend hours here? No, but for an early morning flight, the coffee station is fantastic!

Hi Zac
That picture of the electrical socket and 2 USB ports is a 230V socket, not a 110V socket. Feel free to delete this comment. Great review. Love your work. How long before you can legally review the bars?
