Booking

In order to take advantage of the offers, members must book their lounge access online.

The first step of the booking process, will be to provide your Velocity membership number, and to select the lounge you wish to visit. Once you have done this, you will be asked for the date and time that you will be visiting the lounge.

You then work through the process, selecting additional hours, adding the passenger details and so on.

Once you have booked, you will receive a booking confirmation. You will need to present this confirmation when you arrive at the lounge.

While you may prefer not to pay for lounge access, sometimes they can be decent options. Getting a discount, and a few points thrown might help get some people to take that option.
