- Amazing experience at Virgin Atlantic’s upper class wing check in and short walk through terminal to its club lounge. #virginatlantic #travel #pinderworld #travelvlog
Lovely video. Really enjoyed watching this.
Nice video. Long Vacation for me hence (6) large bags(4 passengers).. VIANO ----is a Viano Van too big for the Upper Class Wing? Thanks
@@MPDLR hey, thank you for reaching out. The Vianao van going through the Upper Class Wing security barrier will definitely not be a problem. I think they have carefully made provisions for such a vehicle carrying multiple passengers and luggage. That experience alone for my wife and I was very exciting and the best ever check-in and security process of any airport around the world. Lounge was amazing too. When you get a chance, please have a look at my video of Virgin’s Upper Class lounge there at Heathrow’s terminal 3. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks again for engaging. ☮️💜☯️
@@pinderworld-travelenthusiast Wow thanks for the details. At the Upper Wing - is there anyone to help with luggage? I've got 5 big ones lol.
@@MPDLR that’s what I meant by best check-in ever. When you load your luggage into the Viano, the next time you’ll touch them will be at your destination as the Virgin staff will greet you when you arrive at the Wing and unload them for you and whisk them over to the weighing belt. The check-in attendant will offer you a seat and take your passports. Once they’ve generated all your boarding passes, they will bring them over to you and escort you to their private security area. They will be no one there but your party. From there you can choose to do a little shopping in the terminal, or go directly to their lounge for some scrumptious dining and relaxation. Hope this helps. 👊🏾😊
@@pinderworld-travelenthusiast BIG help thanks. I'm at end of a 4 week/2 country trip and truth is - pulled muscle and I'm dreading the 5 big bags. So the assistance is important. Is it customary to tip the porters at Upper Wing if they help with bags? That was last question I promise :)
@@MPDLR no tip necessary as it is all part of the process though of course, a show of gratitude never goes amiss. Good luck with your recovery of your muscle strain and have a fab Virgin Upper Wing experience. 🙏🏾
Do you join the regular public when going thru the security checkpoint or is there a special Upper Class queue...?
@imapussee, hey, thanks for reaching out. This security checkpoint is actually in the upper class check-in wing. It’s exclusively for those travelling in upper class. It’s the best ever experience I’ve had at security. Hope you’re about to experience it for yourself. Thanks again. 🥂🙏🏾
@@pinderworld-travelenthusiast ... THANKS for clearing this up! I'm so excited. This was information that I couldn't find on Virgin's website. We have a trip planned in September and I'm looking fwd to checking out all you showed in your video. Cheers!
@@imapussee just thought I’d also tell you, I have another video on my feed which explores the Virgin Atlantic upper class lounge at Heathrow’s terminal 3 which you’ll also experience when you arrive there in September. Please take a look at your leisure, hopefully it’ll raise your excitement all the more. All the best. 👊🏾
@@pinderworld-travelenthusiast ... I'm excited to see the lounge but I like surprises. My wife, on the other hand, wants to know everything there is to know before we get there. I'll send your video her way.
Luxury!
Harry, for absolute sure! The best check in process I’ve ever experienced. Have you tried Virgin’s club lounge?
@@pinderworld-travelenthusiast no sadly not we don’t really have that kind of money 😅😅. Still though I’m interested to see what it’s like so thanks for this video!
@@harry2825 I get you. Save up your avios miles, that’ll get you in there. I’ve actually uploaded the lounge to my feed. I like to think it gives a really good idea of what it’s like in there. Take a peek at your leisure. Have a fab weekend. 👊🏾
You had me at Penhaligon's.
😁😁😁
Do you still have to pay the airport drop off fee even if you are dropping off at the Upper Class Wing?
Hey flyboy747, that’s a good point. I’m not even sure. When you’ve made the drop off, later that evening just put your registration in to the payment system and see if you’ve been charged. I’ve personally dropped at all the other terminals but that one. All the best. 👊🏾👊🏾
How long before your flight can you get in to the upper class suite
Morning Dave, I spent three hours in this lounge before my ✈️. There’s no limit as to how long you can stay either. Enjoy your moment there, it’s right up there amongst the best in the world. All the best. 👊🏾
