JFK Clubhouse Access for companion not on same flight

Question...

I have a colleague of mine flying from JFK-MAN while I am flying JFK-LHR. I am VS AU and flying Upper (colleague is neither). How likely is it that I can bring them with me to the clubhouse in JFK?

Thanks!

Officially - no sorry, as per this page:

On the flight and at the airport with us

Exclusive Clubhouse passes for you plus one guest***


***Applicable for the Gold member and one other passenger travelling on the same Virgin Atlantic flight

You need to be on the same flight.

You could always try though and see what they say depending on how busy it is. Unfortunately though the JFK Clubhouse does tend to get pretty busy so they may well stick to the rules sorry.

It states quite clearly on the VS site that guests must be on the same flight, so it should be a no I'm afraid. That said, I think I'd still be trying my luck with this 1. You never know they might not notice or be feeling generous.

one of the reasons VS made the change to guests having to be on the same flight as the host was to reduce the number of people in the CHs as they were getting very busy and they were getting lots of complaints and this was an easy way to thin the herd a little.

Thanks for all your replies. I'll try my luck!

Not sure how awkward it will be if they say no and I head in leaving him to the Tigin Irish Pub...

I asked a couple of weeks ago, it was a Tuesday and the flights all had a few spaces in upper... the answer was still no :(

I was on a flight from JFK which departed 30 minutes after my pals flight. Access for him was denied. Annoying but understandable.
