am flying internally in US soon on Virgin America. Can I access their clubhouse with my AU card, and/or earn points/ miles on FC?

it doesn't seem to be linked, but its hard to believe its not, so I have to ask...

At the moment, no to points/miles and HERE for lounge access. AU doesn't count.

No and no, you can buy access to certain clubhouses though.

Edit: Darren beat me to it, but I guess it's confirmed.

SF clubhouse most definitely DO vary now. For a while I think they were opening early every day to accommodate this arrangement, but when I flew out in February the hours reflected whether the DUB flight was going out or not. So, I think they open 10 or 11am when there is a Dublin flight (MWFSu, IIRC), 12:30/1pm on other days. Or something like it...

I see you are in the US, no offence meant, but it is the US DOT that has created and enforced rules that prevent this tie-up. Ably supported by US airlines who don't want the competition ... [:w]
