Hi

I am flying on the 16th Nov to Miami in PE, is the No1 lounge free?

No idea how many seats are are available in UC, but is there a chance that teward seats in UC can become available?

On my way home, I land in Miami from Colombia at 6am, my flight back to LHR is not until 6pm, will Virgin allow me to check my luggage in with 12hrs to go?

Thanks

I can't help with points one and three, but I looked up the flight on Expert Flyer and it would seem there's a lot of Upper Class availability at the moment, so keep an eye out for reward seats online, and if all else fails, ask at check in :)

1) There is no included lounge access with any VS Premium fare sorry. You would need to book and pay for the No 1 lounge yourself.

3) That won't be possible as VS check-in at out-stations only opens 4 hours before the first scheduled departure unfortunately.

Although PE does not include lounge access VS does sometimes, space permitting, allow PE passengers to pay to access its own Clubhouse, so that may be an alternative (albeit a much more expensive one). If you do want to use the No.1 Lounge it’s wise to prebook.

At MIA there is a paid left luggage facility in the E concourse.

on 2 it depends on the loads closer to the flight but just because there may be empty seats in Upper it does not always mean VS will open them up for reward bookings.

on 3 it depends if your return is on one ticket or not and who you are flying to MIA from Columbia with

Devil is always in the detail.

Ok, I have been checking daily and they just released reward seats today so managed to upgrade!

Separate tickets on return flight so will most likely store my luggage on concourse E.

Thanks for the advise.
