  • EG access to LHR Virgin Clubhouse when flying VS

    Dear All,

    Sorry if its another access to the clubhouse question but things appear to change quickly.

    I am KFEG and am flying Premium Economy on Virgin. I suspect I am allowed access to the LHR Virgin clubhouse as I am on VS metal. Can anyone confirm this?

    Will I also get the 25% bonus miles for flying with VS?

    Thanks

    You should get VS Clubhouse access and the 25% miles bonus.

    I'm also KF EG but haven't flown VS for over a year (but will be in a couple of months) so I'd be interested in whether you have any issues getting into the Clubhouse.

      yup you'll definitely get access to the VS clubhouse (best lounge i've come across, imho), even if you were on regular economy. 25% mileage bonus applies too. In addition, you can use the upper class check-in desks, and will recieve an additional pc of baggage allowance.

      Unofficially, I believe you can also use the fasttrack lane at LHR - VS has a dedicated elevator and security line for upper class and flying club gold that is a lot quicker than the regular security lane. Your BP won't automatically scan but if you hit the buzzer and show them your KF gold card, they'll let you in - I've flown VS multiple times and this has always worked for me.

        Thanks for the replies.

        Fast lane sounds good at LHR.

        Didnt realise that you can use the UC checkin desks with a KFEG card...will try that and the buzzer idea.

        Thanks

          Krisflyer Gold & Virgin Clubhouse Access

          Apologies if this has been done before but wasn't able to find a clear answer. Is the following assumption correct...

          If I am flying Virgin Atlantic in Y and am currently Krisflyer Gold I am allowed the typical beneifts
          -Priority Check-In
          - Extra Baggage Allowance
          - VS Clubhouse Access

          Many thanks in advance for your assistance

            According to the KF website
            http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/pp...enefitsglance/

            You do get priority check-in and extra baggage allowance, but it makes no mention of lounge access.

            On the other hand, you do get 25% tier bonus.

                I flew VS about 6 weeks ago and my KF Gold card got me in to the VS clubhouses at LHR and JFK no problem.

                  Has anyone flown with VS recently? Curious to know if they'll still let you into the CH with KF Gold.
