V-Flyer

Hi folks,

Does anyone have any inside news/updates regarding the new Clubhouse within the North Terminal?

We know it opens on Jan 25 and will be co-located with the V-Room, presumably with shared reception, kitchen & bathrooms (as with the former BA lounges).

Beyond that they're keeping it under wraps.

Indeed this is the case - V Flyer Mojojo, enquired when at the Clubhouse recently and not much was forthcoming.

We will all have to wait until 25 January 2017 All I hope is the mass of building work that currently engulfs much of the North Terminal does not fall behind schedule and that the new facilities are all ready by then!!

I will try to get some updates from our team there all I can say for definite is both kitchens will be one but will keep my ears open PS the reason behind this is that Compass had the V room and Sodexo had the lounge now Sodexo has the contract for both

I'll be there on 4th Feb so hoping to one of the first V-Flyers to visit

I'll be there on 25th Jan so hopefully THE first V-Flyer to visit! (If they open on time ...)

Now that would be a good V Flyer get together (IF it opens on time)

I look forward to hearing reports. I'm there in Feb.

I'm sure the builders will be pulling out all the stops.

But whatever happens to the CH the terminal switch will happen on the 25th January.

By then the BA lounges will have been closed for nearly 13 months, and they've had two months more than planned so they've got no excuse!

Though knowing my luck they'll turn up on day 1 to open up and won't be able to find the key. Or the power will be down.

Shared bathroom

I've only heard about shared kitchen, nothing about bathrooms or reception?

I'm just speculating, based on the fact the BA Terraces & First lounges used to share washrooms and showers and had a common entrance lobby. I'd be surprised if they've built separate facilities for the Clubhouse and V-Room but you never know.

I'll be there on the 28th Jan, that is if it opens ontime
