[@frederickvondinkerberg7721]

will be checking that out in August, Delta One back to ATL got to do it at least once

[@suzzannelacey603]

Wonderful video. This is my favorite airport lounge by far.

[@DoorsToAuto]

Thanks. Same here!

[@hatchingdraggon8073]

Brilliant video! I was lucky to get a cheap upper class ticket departing next month. It's my first time flying, and I'm a solo traveller, so this has video has been really helpful.

[@DoorsToAuto]

Glad it helped! have fun 😎

I am a huge fan of the Virgin Upper Class experience. I think they are the best British airline.

[@DoorsToAuto]

Thanks for the comment. 🙏

Very useful and detailed video. I will be flying Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and transiting through LHR. I cannot think of a better way to spend a multi-hour layover than at the Clubhouse.

[@DoorsToAuto]

Thanks 🙏

Well, now I know what I have to look forward to when I fly to England in the spring. I'm splurging and going business! I was kinda bummed you didn't show your experience in the plane. Oh, well, I enjoyed the video!

[@DoorsToAuto]

Thanks. Enjoy the trip! There's a separate video for my last flight here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn25l3SXl9uIgpo

[@arneb3818]

I am flying Virgin Atlantic transiting through LHR for a nice six hour layover, and looking forward to every minute of it. Unfortunately, World Duty Free doesn’t stock Archers Peach schnapps, one of my favorites. Hopefully, I will be able to get a taste in the clubhouse.

[@DoorsToAuto]

Enjoy 😎

I found this video very helpful as I was wondering if there were upper class check in desks next to the economy and premier ones. Do you know if there are stairs to the private security area or is it just accessible via the lift? :)

[@DoorsToAuto]

Thanks. There is an escalator nearby. I think there are stairs next to the escalator.

[@islaw1898]

@@DoorsToAuto I think that an escalator is even better! :D Thank you for letting me know.

[@mscolli3]

It would be awesome if they provided Segways to get from check-in to the lounge.

[@coombem1978]

Nice video. When was this taken? Interested to know if the upper wing and its private security lane is open currently

[@DoorsToAuto]

Thanks. It’s a compilation from different trips. Both the Upper Wing and private security channel were open a few weeks ago when I last flew though.

[@denamayes3219]

Virgin definately have the edge over BA. Virgin experience was amazing . However I preferred the BA business class pods to the virgin seat on the plane.

[@DoorsToAuto]

The newer Virgin planes (A350s) have a similar seat to BA. It’s just the older aircraft (A330s and 789s) that have the old Virgin seat.

I fly Virgin on Tuesday morning. It'll be my eighth FLIGHT with Virgin - not to be confused with return trips. They've all been in Upper Class. Tuesday's flight was originally booked in Premium Economy but I bid for an upgrade & received the upgrade. I can only compare Virgin to Delta & British. I can state without hesitation that Virgin has an amazing business class product. Delta's Delta One seats on their A350 are better than Virgin's & the new Club World Suites on British are also better than Virgin's, but the Clubhouse experience for both airlines suffers. Virgin's Heathrow Revivals Lounge is lacking but given most people don't linger around the airport after they've arrived, I understand that it's not up to the same standard as their Clubhouse Lounge. But I do love, love, love the Upper Class Wing arrival experience.

[@rahulg98]

I guess the revival lounge closes at 5pm 🤨, correct me if wrong. My flight from Mumbai, India lands at 530pm sadly....I seriously wish VS extends revival lounge time until 8pm atleast .......🤞

[@DoorsToAuto]

I think it closes at lunchtime, alas…

[@GG-qm7zb]

There is a separate drop off for Upper Class.

[@DoorsToAuto]

Yes, the UC Wing is covered in the video after showing the main Upper Class check-in area

[@Grazilla52]

Can Delta One passengers use the Virgin Upper Class Wing?

[@DoorsToAuto]

Yes, they can.

[@coolbreeze253]

So, the onboard experience was a non-event?

[@DoorsToAuto]

There's a whole separate video for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn25l3SXl9uIgpo

[@lighthouselaura4324]

Question? If I'm flying into Heathrow (on VA business class) can I depart the airplane & prior to coustume go to the lounge to shower. My flight arrives early & my hotel check in is 3pm.

[@DoorsToAuto]

Hi. On arrival you need to clear customs and immigration. There is then the Virgin Revivals lounge that you can use. It close at around lunchtime.

[@hirenbakhda9088]

Tedious. I was expecting commentary
