Etihad Gold status & access to Virgin Australia lounges.

Etihad Gold status & access to Virgin Australia lounges.

Hey all,

I have Etihad Gold status and am travelling (economy) from Sydney to the Gold Coast and back on VA. I've searched high and low on the VA website and can't find any information regarding reciprocal lounge access. Much is said about the VA/NZ deal with lounges but nothing about Etihad.

Will I have access to the lounge in Sydney and the Gold Coast? I recall a while back Etihad Gold gave access to some of VA's lounges (for example SYD/MEL/BNE/PER but not OOL or CBR). Then it was changed on the website to include all VA lounges. Now it has gone altogether.

Anyone have up-to-date info?

Thanks,
