Pre trip report on VS005

So after a quick trip from Edinburgh to T5 and very quickly through T5 to the Hilton at T5, I have had a moment of weakness just before dinner and after checking my emails, booked a Tristar transfer.

So tomorrow brings, first time using the Drive Through Check In, first time using Heathrow T3, first time in the Heathrow Clubhouse and maybe first time on a Virgin A340-600 if it follows the planes used in the past few days. :0

After flying many many times from Gatwick in Upper, it will be interesting to compare the two experiences.

Oh, and first time into Miami (that's maybe not so good :D )

My vote for food is to hit the deli counter. Cheese, meats, bread, red wine.... Ahhhh...

It was around £60. Drive through was ok after it was reset. A car behind us confused the system by nipping in after us without waiting for clearance and shut the system down.

Onwards to the Clubhouse.
