At the airport

Why not start your holiday the way you mean to go on. Why hang around the crowded coffee bars trying to make yourself comfortable on a hard plastic seat while hanging round the airport waiting for your flight. There is another world nearby, you know, the world of the airport lounge.

Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class passengers have an efficient and friendly dedicated Upper Class check in area with express hand baggage check in also available at a number of airports, as is Fast Track passport and immigration channels. You can then head straight to the Clubhouse.
