Like the other Virgin Australia lounges we’ve already tested, the one in Adelaide is relatively pleasant, but its catering still leaves a lot to be desired.

You’ll find a summary of the articles about this trip to Australia at the bottom of the page.

Location of the lounge

After security checks, turn left at the end of the shopping area. Not exactly central, but close to my departure gate.

Access to the lounge

I remind you of the Virgin Australia lounge access rules:

It is logically accessible to Virgin Australia business class passengers, as well as Gold and Platinum members of its Velocity loyalty program and partner airline programs, provided they are traveling on a Virgin Australia-operated flight.

Non-business class Virgin Australia customers can also purchase an annual lounge pass.

Any passenger can also purchase access at the lounge entrance.

And last but not least, it is available to holders of an American Express Platinum or Centurion (non-cobranded, of course).

In this case I was traveling in premium economy (economy x) and didn’t have access to it as such, but as a holder of an American Express Platinum.

Design et dispostion du salon

The lounge consists of a large room divided into smaller, more intimate areas. The omnipresence of a large bay window makes it very bright.

The lounge is more like a restaurant than a lounging area, with tables everywhere and only a few workspaces.

The signage is creative and a little offbeat, in the Moxy spirit.

All in all, it’s pretty and pleasant.

Catering

As always at Virgin Australia, a barista station is dedicated to hot drinks.

Catering is rather limited, and the fact that it’s breakfast time doesn’t help matters.

Yogurt.

Fruits.

Scrambled eggs.

Potatoes.

The staff are clearly in no hurry to restock the buffet.

As for drinks, in addition to the barista there’s this fountain.

I assume that, as at the Virgin Australia lounge in Sydney, an on-demand alcoholic beverage service is available from midday onwards.

Lounge facilities

The lounge has toilet and shower facilities.

Atmosphere

Very quiet in the early morning.

Bottom line

A really nice place, but its food offer is really too limited.
