V-Flyer

Last time we flew in UC we landed too late in the day to use the revivals lounge. Our next trip to LHR is via SFO, so are expected in Heathrow at 11:05.

I know the revivals lounge closes at 13:30 or so, but I don't know if that is the time of last entry - or the time everyone is expected to have left. I suppose what I'm asking is will the Revivals lounge be winding down by the time we would get there (11:30ish??) - will there still be a chance to grab some breakfast and will the showers be as busy as they might have been earlier in the morning?

Have a connecting flight from T1 later in the day and wouldn't mind hanging around until chucking out time.

Thank you, experts.

Justin.

I've used Revivals straight off the SFO flight and have had no problem getting either a shower or breakfast

I used rivivals off of the 008 and that landed at 12:25!

Oh that's great - sounds like there is no need to hurry then.

Nope, there isn't. Used to do it all the time, lined my connections at LHR at or around 2pm so I could get off SFO-LHR, chill then make the connection.

One follow-up question to this very useful thread: what time does Revivals actually shut? I'm aware that 13:30 is the published time, but does that relate to last admissions, or is it actually chucking-out time?

I'm arriving on VS8, so should be able to get to Revivals OK, but I'd like to spend quite a bit of time there before I catch my BD connection some hours later. And Revivals sounds a much more appetising prospect than the currently-under-refurbishment BD domestic lounge.

It closes at 13:30. If you are there near that time there is an element of staff clearing up ready for that.

The main purpose of Revivals is for business men to be able to prepare to go straight to work or for meetings in the morning and while it is a welcome retreat before an onward flight it is not a departures lounge

Thanks for clarifying. BD's temporary domestic lounge it is then.
