V-Flyer

I know everyone must post this shortly prior to losing their Virgin UC Virginity BUT

I am so bloody excited for VS9 tomorrow!

Tristar sorted to get us there nice and early as well

Have a wonderful, memorable experience.

Hope it exceeeds your expectations!

Enjoy !

I remember that feeling !!! and actually I still get it, but I must admit the Clubhouse has a big part to play too !

Have a great trip. !

have a great time, enjoy the CH! I always have 2 breakfasts as I find them a bit small

Have a great time.
Enjoy both the CH and the flight.
But you do know you will now be subject to the 'no right turn' rule whenever you get on a plane.

Hope you really enjoy it ..... obviously wish you a smooth flight but maybe I should also wish you a slightly adverse headwind so your time in the air is a fraction longer than normal to experience a little more time in your UC suite

Although many of us have been lucky enough to fly UC a few times now it's still going to be great to read your trip report for your impressions as it's easy to forget / take for granted some of the experience (though the enjoyment still remains, of course, when finances, sales promotions and miles upgrades allow).

Thanks to all

I am flying with my wife, brother in-law, his wife and their cousin so 5 very excited people.

I'll 100% do a Trip Report and will try to post either when I am over there for VS9 or do both (VS9 / VS4) when I get back to the UK.

Have a wonderful time! I still get the fizzle a day or so before flying UC.

I hope you realise that this is the start of always wanting to turn left when you board a plane.
We had our first upper class flight a couple of year ago and our holidays now cost a little bit more (well quite a lot more really) now and I've become obsessed with collecting miles.
Enjoy your flight

Ditto what vic110 said .... nowt like turning left

Agree with everything that has been said here. Be warned though that once you turn left....you never turn right again !!!!

My missus and I first flew Virgin n 2006 when we both retired. We had always wanted to spend a week in DC to explore and see all the famous sites. We first used PE and enjoyed it but always looked enviously to the pointy end when we first boarded.

The next year we flew into Boston for a week and again used PE. In 2008 we decided to tour Maine,Vermont and New Hampshire for a 3 week tour. And for the first time ,we took advantage of the Virgin sale and flew UC.....and we were hooked.

We now return each Autumn to spend a week in the northern woods of Northern Maine up near Moosehead Lake, a week in the Catskills and our final week in Wellfleet on Cape Cod ( our particular favourite ) And since 2008 we have always used UC

We are off again for in October for our fourteenth trip to the US with Virgin and in UC. Being old pensioners now, we could not afford the "real " price of UC and always take advantage of the sale that generally appears on the website in early Spring.

So enjoy your first time in UC. We know you will and will probably be hooked like most people here. It really is a wonderful product. Especially the drive through at Heathrow and the truly wonderful Clubhouse

I haven't sat at the back of the bus for about 5 years or so. Turning left sure is addictive! Have a great time both in the clubhouse and on board.

It is of course now the day of travel

Make sure you savour the whole experience and try not to rush things as, just like that wedding day, it will be over in a flash.

If you are using DTCI do stop and take it all in before you launch yourself into the security line. The same with the Clubhouse, don't be afraid to ask for things or advice.

Have a great trip

So today is the day.

4 hours sleep...like a kid at Christmas

Thank you for the comments, advice and indeed the warning that after today I won't ever want to not turn left again on a flight.

We are all looking forward to this so much

Enjoy - safe trip.

Looking forward to my first experience of turning left in 5 weeks time.
