Hi all,

As the subject suggests, I'm flying with my partner and her father in May LHR - JFK in PE on the same ticket. He's a gold member so I wondered what how many guests he can take into the CH if on the same ticket, if any?

Any experiences with this?

Thanks!

one guest

Hi,

It's just one guest per qualifying passenger.

Is that clarified anywhere? https://www.virginatlantic.com/us/en/flying-club/how-flying-club-works/membership-tiers/gold-benefits.html I always interpreted the small print at the bottom to mean FC Gold can bring in as many as they want as long as they're on the same ticket.

No the rule means that the guest has to be flying on the same flight as the host.

Yes it's clarified on the very page you link to under the CH section is says

Treat yourself and a guest to the experience***.

the *** means that the guest must be on the same flight as the host.

So that is 'A guest' not everyone on the same booking - it does not even mention booking.

It has always been 1 guest per Gold card holder or Upper Class traveller. Even if you are both gold and flying Upper, you can still only have 1 guest and as Tonty mentions, they now also have to be on the same flight as you.

At one time your guest just had to be flying VS the same day but that got changed a few years ago.

I think it's still zero guests for Revivals as well isn't it?

Seriously? We are on a (sadly economy) red eye from JFK and have to go straight to work after we land; we were looking forward to a shower and some breakfast at the Revivals! I'm gold and my partner is silver. Bit cheeky for me to go in alone but dare say I am tempted! I was certain you could take in one guest as a gold. So disappointed.

Guests have never been allowed in Revivals - it isn't very big

Oli, a gold card holder can take extra guests into the clubhouse (not revivals) if you pay £60 per person. I guess it's not guaranteed due to capacity/time limitations etc, but I've done it for sure. I think the lady at reception said something along the lines of "we'd never turn away an AU holder with a paying guest". It's easy money for them after all. I'm sure it helps if it's only one guest and they're already in Premium, as opposed to turning up with a stag party of 10 all in Economy and flashing the cash though! Good luck.

There's a Plaza Premium Arrivals Lounge in T3 (well, access is from outside T3 really) if you need a shower etc.

Access via prebooking, Priority Pass etc. OR if there is a water shortage in Revivals which happened to me last week.

Oceanscape, I am an AU holder and I have *paid* for a guest to join me in Revivals several times - after economy flights. I forget the price, the last time was two years ago, I think it was about £25. Never refused on grounds of it being busy (or any other reason) but it was usually on a weekend, so they may have allowed it because they were not busy.

My guest is now AU too so I don't know if they still offer this.

Quick question. As AU, if flying through Gatwick on easy through North at LGW could one get access to CH as if passing through LHR T3 on BA?

Seems like it is worth a try...

Sorry to jump on this thread, but would Virgin allow a guest into the NYC clubhouse who is flying Virgin but on a flight 45 minutes later than mine?

Thanks,

Technically not, guests are supposed to be on the same flight. But there’s no harm asking ...
