Heathrow clubhouse

Please can anyone advise the maximum time we can spend in the clubhouse.

Thanks.

dont think there is a maximum, I have been in ranging from 3hrs to 7hrs

7 hours?? :0 from choice? that's kicking it - good job

Spent 9 hours in there once thanks to a 6 hour delay, I didn't care one jot! Good times.

Now that is very close to heaven!!

well, for the Boston flight, I normally get to CH for when it opens at 7am, so around 7 hours...

For Dubai, I arrive around 3pm, so again around 7 hours

Wow, I generally average about 30 minutes, except on a rare trip in with my family in which case I might get a couple of hours. You lot certainly are pros, no wonder there's a 'one free guest only' rule!

Note to self... must check out jacuzzi next time. On a practical note though, how are you expected to dry your swimwear?? And for that matter, is there a lower age limit if my cherubs are interested?

Actually, more importantly, is there a drinks service in there!!

How do you do that???? If I am in there for more the 3 1/2 hours I am scared they will not let me board. The red wine keep asking to get drunk. Glass after glass :0

Did 5hrs when we were in the Clubhouse. Managed breakfast and lunch and plenty of drinks in between.

We spent 5 hours there, but being a one off treat for us, we wanted to make sure we had time to enjoy it all.

Personally a planned visit 0f 3 -4 hours is enough but if my flight was delayed I supposed I could *suffer* a bit longer !

If necessary a walk around main departures would soon knock some sense back into me !

Did from 9am to 4pm once and there was a guy in there before me and still there after me.

There's a spin-dryer similar to the ones you see in leisure centers which are very effective.

There is no drinks service in the jacuzzi btw

That question was asked rather tongue in cheek

On your first visit I would have thought 3 or 4 hours was quite enough. After that I would go for maybe 2 hours or even less -- just enough time for some food and drink, and perhaps a treatment. It's a great lounge, but remember it is basically a glorified waiting room, and unless you are there with friends or are a real party animal, then time can drag a little.

My first visit was for 6 hours, I think, because of a delay. I was travelling alone and by the end of the wait I was really quite bored.

Totally agree with at240 here. If there are a few of you then knock yourself out. You can have a bit of a party in there and with good staff on they won't stop you (unless you get to loud 8D ).
On the flip side when on my own, I eat, drink and work. After a few hours I start to think I am going to in a small space for the next x hours and start to go for a wonder around the airport. So 2 and a half / three hours is plenty for me as well.

i always transfer in to LHR from MCR so don't have full freedom of choice when it comes to how long to spend, but i'll choose a 3-4 hour transfer time over a 1 hour one if flying VA.

This coming saturday i'm on VS11 to Boston which flies at 15:35 & i'm scheduled to land at T1 at 11:30 which should see me in the CH by 12:00

We've done about 6 hours in there on the first visit. That was by accident though as the M25 was incredibly quiet for a Friday evening. The second time was about 2 1/2.

This summer we're planning to get to DTCI at 11ish for a 15.45 departure.

Managed 10:00 to 20:00 once! - We were due to depart at 14:00 on VS045 but due to delays we finally boarded at around 20:30.

I was just glad I was in the clubhouse and not in the main departure hall for 10 hours!

Thanks for all the replys!! We were there about 6 hours, bit of a novelty as it was our first time!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it though!!
