ONLINE CHECK IN

I am flying tomorrow at 12.20 will online check in open at dead on 24 hours or slightly before it? I want to make sure i get my requested seats.Flying upper from LGW is there a separate security queue i want to get to the clubhouse as quick as possible

OLCI opens at T-24 or there about, usually at 23hrs 59mins before your flight, never seen it open before this.

As long as you complete OLCI 2 hours before it closes you should get your assigned seats.... should being the operative word given the myriad of reasons VS could change seating requests at the airport ii)

At LGW you get to use the priority security queue.... the check in desk can direct you where to go, but to be honest the security system at Gatwick is quite efficient and sometimes it is quicker to use the normal one as opposed to the priority lane. I would say, judge it on the day by how fast things are moving.

On your marks, get set... GO

Have a look at my recent TR forum/index.php?f=6&t=280390&rb_v=viewtopic - gives you a little info about Gatwick.

For what's its worth, when flying Upper from Gatwick, I think I've only done online checkin once (and I think that's because they were offering bonus miles ) and have never been moved from my seat.

Flying upper from Gatwick is a very stress free experience now. Enjoy your flights.

Thanks for the replies. Just got my seats 7A and K yippee. Did not print the boarding passes as i have through ticket from DUB-LGW-CUN and will get them when i check in at Dublin. Its my first time flying Virgin and upper class my boyfriend doesnt know we are going upper as its a birthday surpise so i am waiting until we get to Gatwick to tell him. Very exciting Are alcohol drinks all free in the clubhouse?

Yes they are, as is food and a limited range of spa treatments.

It can get very busy from 9am though.

What a fantastic birthday treat! Have a great time
