Hi Adam, yep pretty much. Some of the spa/hair treatments (and if you want two) are chargeable though.

As for what is available..... well most of the CHs seem to have everything you could possibly want food and drink wise before a flight. Which route are you flying? People can then chip in with experiences with the lounges you'll be passing through.

Yes, as joey says all the food and drink is free.

This page has details of all the spa/hair services and prices for those which aren't free.

The Clubhouse can get very busy in the evenings as that's when a lot of the VS flights leave, so if you want a spa treatment or haircut book as soon as you arrive.

Otherwise eat and drink to your heart's content! There's a full service bar & brasserie as well as a deli counter with breads, meats, cheeses, salads etc.

On your return from Mumbai you'll be able to use the Revivals Lounge, after immigration, baggage reclaim & customs in LHR T3 arrivals. There you can have a shower, cooked breakfast and limited range of spa treatments.

Enjoy!

There's a few posts on here with advice on what you should do in the clubhouse (when to book your treatments, order last drink etc) so have a look at those when you get a chance.

But all the food and drink is free
Including the champagne which is what quite a few people tend to drink (with interludes of redheads - definitely worth a try as they are very good)

Many thanks for the information. If i choose to fly PE outbound and UC on the return flight, would i still be allowed to use the lounge on the outbound flight?

Thanks again

Hi Adam,
Sorry but the answer is no, well on that PE ticket the answer is no.
If you have a VS Au card or you can get yourself guested in the CH with someone that is on the same flight as you then yes. y)
I think most will agree the the LHR CH is one of the best lounges you will see and use around the globe. I will go as far to say once used, you are then spoiled and most others seem a down grade so be careful :D :D
