Hi there,
Going into the virgin club house for the first time this month when we fly out to boston.
Is the CH busy in the mornings as we are thinking about getting there about 11:30 for our 15:05 flight!
do you think thats about right as DW wants to get her hair done there!
thanks for your help

That seems to be about right, we are getting there at about 12ish for a 15.45 flight.
Especially as it will be your first time, there is a lot to take in, you must first go and book any appointments. Then if you want anything to eat it can get very busy around this time of day.
Then you can chill out with a drink from the bar and soak up the atmosphere. Enjoy. Linda 8D

We were there in August, we were on the vs23 at 15:45pm. We arrived at about midday. Hubby and I managed to get appts (Shave for hubby, hair for me), we booked in shortly after arriving.
We had lunch and a wander round, plenty of time before we called (2nd call for flight is the one to listen out for!)
Hope that helps

As it is your very first visit you may want to allow yourselves a little more time. Getting there a little earlier also means you can enjoy their breakfast offerings! If you want to spend time in duty free and explore/enjoy all aspects of the CH I would certainly go earlier.

Agree with Bazz , I arrived at 0830 for a Boston flight earlier this year and the time still flew by

I agree you might want a bit more time for a first visit. Remember you will be called to the gate maybe 50 mins before scheduled departure time.
The CH gets busy in the mornings but then quietens down as the morning flights to America depart. Lunchtime is a nice time to be there and I would definitely take advantage of the brasserie.

Lol wow
Surely though once the OHs have experienced the CH then at least next time they will see the value of going earlier ? Lol
