Used it last September when we got married in NYC, when we also flew PE. Would only recommend it if its a special occasion. It's a great service and worked flawlessly and would certainly book again. Just the cost that's a big factor.

IMHO it is very expensive for what is on offer - and its limitations e.g. 75 mile limit on the car.

You could get a pre-booked taxi / limo plus access to say the #1 lounge for a lot less than £ 240.

Also you only get 3 hours in the CH so you couldn't plan to arrive at 7.00 for a 16.00 flight for example!

But it's your money so spend it on what you like. I know that personally I could get 3 hours in the #1 and a taxi to LHR for less than £100!

Hi all

happy bank Holiday

We (three of Us)have just booked this service for our trip later this year to Orlando Disney and Cruise.
Why:-
1) because we couldn't get 3 UC seats so PE it had to be this time but cant fly with out the perks we are now used to.
2) Lounge access is now £50 each if you do it on the day and it is on a space available grounds only so one can be easily disappointed!
For us the lounge starts our holiday off on a high.
3) For the last 6 years the various taxi firms we use have let us down with such predictable reliability. Getting my wheelchair, luggage and bodies between home and the airport has become a nightmare and having to pay for a larger vehicle (which is never truly fit for purpose) adds up cost wise but the Guest list package actually works out quite competitive for us all (we are at 71 miles!)So this time we will use Tristar both ways UK and they do have some corkingly big luxury vehicles which are perfect

being a wheelchair user, removing the unknowns or maybes from our travel plans makes for a much more relaxed and pleasant experience

The Guest list does this in bucket loads!

See Smid's post above..... put your dates on here and see what the V flyer group can do.... a lot of folk travelling frequently so always the chance of a free pass.

I have never been taken up on one so they normally just go to waste....

Post the dates and keep fingers crossed

I went with the guest list - when I added up taxi to station, train to London, ug transfer to hex, pp access fee to no 1 lounge or pot luck entry (plus fee) to ch and with the numerous changes in public transport, the door to door limo seemed appealing and not a lot more ££. Hopefully it will all go to plan - I do need to traverse the m25 !!
