I am looking to book a Business Class trip from AUS to Europe on Qatar. I am a Platinum VA FF. How do I make the booking? Can’t see this is possible on Virgin Australia website. Is this done on Qatar website? If so do I get full access to Qatar lounges (First Class lounge) as Platinum VA Member? Thanks for any information you can provide.

The alliance between Virgin Australia and Qatar has been announced, but it has not commenced yet. You are not currently able to book flights on Qatar, and have access to Qatar's lounges, as a Velocity member.
The best information we currently have is the information provided by David in his ET article last month:
"A joint statement issued by both airlines said the Virgin-Qatar partnership would 'commence later this year', although Executive Traveller understands it's well on track to start in July."

The ACCC gave an interim approval on their code sharing last week, to sell and ticket Qatar flights with VA flight numbers, so I'd imagine booking via the VA website is imminent.
