clubhouse

good evening,
a quick question, some years ago when travelling pe i was able to
pay to go into the clubhouse at lhr and on return at iad to do the same, can you still pay to into clubhouses?

Hi Julian,

Not at the door, although in the past they used to offer it at check in when they knew it was going to be quiet.

I believe you can buy entrance in advance via Virgin Holidays, but this doesn't include the Salon treatments.

Hi Julian,

You can if your flight is booked with Virgin Holidays - you can call them and pay for access (although only at London CH's). I'm not aware of any ability historically to purchase access to the IAD CH, to be honest.

If not - I'm afraid not. The only ways in are:

VH prepay voucher
Upper Class Ticket (or guest)
Gold Card holder (or guest)
Amex Centurion
FlyingCo. Voucher as an employee of a FlyingCo. company

(Noooooo! - Pete! Not Pete... Oh... [:#])

thanks,
i asked at check in at paid i think £25 at lhr and 30 dollars at iad, might seem a lot but for the peace and quiet and food and booze it seems good value.

i have been thru iad several times in uc and pe and each time when in pe have paid at check in for clubhouse entry, but last time in pe was 2003.

Hi Julian,

The current price for VH bookings (they no longer offer anything at Check-in at LHR) is £65, I believe (maybe £60?), per visit to the LHR CH.

It's been discussed quite a bit around other threads on the forums - a quick check through the search tool will yield many results for this topic

thanks paul,
can i just book flights thru VH or do they only do holidays.
cheers Julian

Might be an idea to add something about paid CH access to the FAQs. The Clubhouse entry mentions most ways of gaining access but misses the VH paid access method in London.

Phil

P.S. FAQ entry also misses the Flying Co method

Hate to beat a dead horse but it is only the UK Amex Centurion. Sorta ironic as the card is called the American Express card.

Also the Singapore Airlines PPS Club card allows access to the CH and Solitaire/Life PPS members have access to Revival's when arriving on SQ322. (Sad part is I did not have to look that up).

Now Paul I guess you are getting old and forgetting things. [^] Youth. Hahhaahh.

As my Dad used to say, many years ago... You can stick your "youth" where you don't know how to use it yet, pal.... [:p]

ROTFL - All in good fun

Now back OT.

Wimp's way out, that's what he'd call that last comment... Come on and fight, East-Coast boy... [:p]

Oh snap. Also BMI Gold cards allow access; and maybe the easiest way with there status matches. BTW-Star Gold does not allow access.

[RichardMannion]

BMI Gold is only for the card holder and only at LHR.

In regards to the previous question, you could always book a flydrive via VH; in fact sometimes it is actually cheaper to do this than book a flight only via VS or a TA. Especially if you use your 10% FC discount.

Thanks,
Richard
