Virgin Australia invests in lounge upgrades in Brisbane and Perth

Virgin Australia has announced significant investments in its lounge network to enhance the experience for frequent travelers, particularly those in the mining, energy, and resources sectors.

In Brisbane, the airline is undertaking a multi-million-dollar refurbishment of its domestic lounge, scheduled for completion by mid-2027. The upgrade will add approximately 100 seats and include new furniture, power access at every seat, individual work pods, a four-person meeting room, and upgraded bathroom facilities.

In Perth, the airline plans to reopen its exclusive, invitation-only Beyond Lounge in early 2027. This facility will occupy the space previously held by The Club and will feature private offices, a boardroom, and privacy pods. The expansion of the Beyond Lounge network brings the total to four cities, including Sydney and Melbourne.

Additionally, the airline has partnered with Shark Beauty to provide hairdryers and hair straighteners in lounges nationwide and has introduced WhatsApp-based customer service for select membership tiers.
