I’m going to be travelling through LHR on Tuesday morning on route to JFK (Hurricane Irene permitting). It will be my first flight on Virgin in over 10 years and first time in UC (I’m BA Gold and normally fly CW or F).
I plan to arrive in the Clubhouse early to make the most of the ground experience, but I was wondering what are the best things to be looking out for, both in the lounge and on board? Is there a requirement to pre-book anything?
I’m booked into 7A on the outbound (A340-600) and 3K on the upper deck on the return flight (B747-400). I chose these seats based on looking at SeatGuru and SeatExpert and then choosing the best available. I realise that the UD will mean slower disembarking behind Y passengers but happy to give it a try on the way home. 1D is available on the outbound flight (A340-600) but the reports on SeatGuru and SeatExpert are contradictory. I’ve avoided it as it’s pretty close to the bathroom.
I’ve booked drive through check in on the outbound flight, using my own driver (car details supplied to Virgin) and look forward to trying this out. Any advice for the return journey from JFK?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
