BMI and Singapore spring to mind.

I think Qatar also has an agreement. With BMI / Singapore, is it only if they are booked on a VS ticket?

BMI yes, SQ no. SQ VS or SQ

For BMI, you have to have a gold Diamond Club card though.

From the BMI website:
quote:Virgin Clubhouse - Terminal 3

Diamond Club Gold card members* - no guest

*Diamond Club Gold card members when travelling with Virgin Atlantic

I will be putting this into use on Friday [:)]

I asked at the Clubhouse last week if the policy had changed regarding SQ passengers and they confirmed that their non status business and first passengers will no longer be admitted and will have to make use of the inferior SQ lounge.

If that's the case, David - I have to say...

Good, it's about time!

Do VS gold still get BMI lounge access - isn't obvious and if not seems bit unfair that they are allowed clubhouse access

Yes, but only on international BMI flights and I think only from LHR as well.
