Virgin Australia to expand lounge network in Perth and Brisbane

Virgin Australia has announced a major investment in its airport lounge network, highlighted by the reopening of its invitation-only Beyond Lounge in Perth early next year. The Beyond Lounge, which serves corporate clients and frequent flyers, will join existing locations in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.

In addition to the Perth expansion, the airline is undertaking a multi-million dollar refurbishment of its Brisbane domestic lounge, scheduled for completion by mid-2027. The project will add 100 seats, new furniture, upgraded facilities, and increased greenery.

To enhance the passenger experience, the airline is also introducing WhatsApp customer service for Beyond, Velocity Platinum Plus, and Business Flyer members. Furthermore, Virgin Australia has partnered with Shark Beauty to provide hair styling tools in lounge bathrooms.
