Flying with Virgin Australia through LAX? You now have better lounge access.

Effective from this week, Virgin Australia Platinum & Gold Velocity members along with Business Class passengers flying from LA to Australia will now have access to the following lounges in the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX:

Emirates lounge

Who’s eligible:
Platinum Velocity members (in any cabin) + 1 guest

Etihad First Class & Business Class Lounge

Who’s eligible:
Gold Velocity members (in any cabin) + 1 guest
Virgin Australia Business Class passengers

The Emirates lounge, which opened in July 2015, is 840 square metres and features a fresh decor with bespoke artwork and a terrace view. You’ll enjoy luxury and comfort with leather armchairs, LED TV’s, relaxed or formal sitting, a dining area with global cuisines, shower facilities, and a business centre.

Opened in July 2016, Etihad Airway’s First and Business class lounge features a Modern Arabian style, it’s located airside and overlooks the terminal’s extensive shopping promenade. Inside the lounge you’ll enjoy luxurious seating, a la carte dining, showcase bar, shower facilities, and free wi-fi amongst other luxuries.

Both lounges can be found on level 6 of the Tom Bradley International Terminal.

Virgin has been looking to secure LAX lounge access for their high tier and business class passengers for a number of months, and securing the access to Etihad and Emirate lounges brings to an end the points and vouchers offer that the airline previously offered in lieu of lounge access.

Virgin Australia has also confirmed that they will remain in the Tom Bradley International Terminal despite partner airline Delta making the move to T2&T3.
