The Virgin Blue Velocity lounge at Brisbane airport is a good place to find peace and quiet
away from the crowds. It's large and has most of the services one would expect. Seats are
comfortable, service is fine, and especially good at the coffee/beer bar. The fresh food bar
has a very limited range, which generally includes - bread, sliced ham, cheese, tomato, good
for making a sandwich. Overall it's the snack options that let the lounge down, but not enough
to keep me away. Apart from costly membership rates, Velocity members can pre-pay online for a
lounge pass (on their day of travel on Virgin Blue) for $30. Anyone travelling Virgin Blue can
also walk up to the lounge and buy a pass for $35. There is only one shower located in the
male toilets (I would presume the same applies to the female toilets). The shower stall is
small and ill-equipped with no hooks for hanging carry bags or clothing (or towel) and the
shower water tends to end up all over the "dry" area. When you request a towel from reception,
you will receive two (of very average quality) - the second being for the wet floor.
If you have a couple of hours to kill (2 hours maximum), and you prefer to wait somewhere
peaceful, this is a fairly good option.
