Virgin Australia has added fast-track security at the key airports of Brisbane and Melbourne airports for eligible customers, with the airline re-opening Premium Entry lanes.

The premium security experience, reserved for Velocity Frequent Flyer Platinum, Gold and Beyond members, Virgin Australia Business Class guests, and eligible high-tier guests of the airline’s international airline partners, will open between 5.00am and 10.00am weekdays, allowing guests to swiftly move through both
airports.

A Virgin Australia Group spokesperson said: “We are laser focussed on creating great travel experiences for our guests and we are pleased to provide fast-track security screening for eligible customers in Melbourne and Brisbane airports.

“We know time is important for our most frequent flyers, and our expanded security facilities in Brisbane and Melbourne are a ticket for loyal guests to quickly move through the screening process, so they can spend more time enjoying our lounge experience prior to their flight."

Commenting on Premium Entry at Sydney Airport, the spokesperson said “Virgin Australia is continuing to work through options with Sydney Airport Corporation.”

About AirlineRatings.com

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.

Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.

Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
