Paying to get into SFO CH and Thank You CS

Has anyone managed to do this in advance or on the day ??

Does anyone know the price please.

DD is on her way home for Christmas she is EC.


DD doesn't have the best history with flights, missed flights wrong dates ect ect. Her Dad has lived in the US for 15 years so she has travelled 2-3 a year to visit him so she should be a lot better at it. So imagine my (not so) surprise tone when she tells me she has missed her flight date by 6 WEEKS !!!! Quick call to Crawley Towers and £150 later she is booked back on the VS020 next week. Thank you CT.

I have not heard of that ever happening. The SFO is quite small so they need to make sure there is enough room / service for the UC pax, AU members and any guests they bring.

Unlike many airport lounges, VS Clubhouses are not, as a rule, pay-to-enter facilities.

The option is sometimes offered to some passengers at some airports (notably to Virgin Holidays passengers at LHR and LGW) but it's always subject to how busy it is, and never guaranteed so shouldn't be taken for granted.

The only way to guarantee access is to fly UC, be AU or, in London, pay for the (very expensive) guest list package.

Thank you. I've paid to get into the LGW CH before but that was through VH. She will just have to smile sweetly and ask very nicely but I will warn her its very unlikely.

I think VX passengers pay $40 for SFO

Exactly, they sell it to VX passengers so why not VS. Oh well.

There can't be that many VX pax who use it though, given the two airlines operate from different terminals.

When EI flew to SFO their Premium passengers used the CH. I'm wondering if this will happen again when EI reinstate the route. I think I shall have to try it and see.
