I am traveling for the first time on Virgin Atlantic PE. Could somebody advise what this will entitle me too?

I know there is a special check in queue but I remember reading that there is a VIP security queue, I am entitled to use this?

Thanks you

PE - dedicated check in desk, access to the premium or speedy security (very good now the new system is in place), priority lane at the gate, priority boarding (after UC and AU card holders). if you are lucky a seat in the bubble.

You will also get a checked in baggage allowance of 2*23kg rather than the 1 in economy.

There is no free lounge access though.

At gatwick a general benefit is twighlight checkin where you can checkin and dump your bags the day before.

It means you are nowhere near economy is what it means. Don't feed them or look at them just in case as they can bite. Definitely don't put your fingers in their cage.

Now, now, be kind! I know you jest but please remember that many of our members (and lurkers) fly economy and have probably saved hard to do so. We don't want a class war breaking out

Quite HL... next thing you know someone will be saying something inflammatory, like that PE is the preserve of the nouveau riche middle classes. But not me of course ):

And the fact that I have only ever flown in either UC or Y is neither here nor there in this debate :o)

Excuse me, must be friday afternoon syndrome :|
