"lounge is an experience"

(United Arab Emirates)

Verified Review | This lounge is an experience, staff welcome you and explain the layout and features. Food is plentiful and you order from a menu. There is a Deli section as well. In addition there is a library, spa, sauna, jacuzzi and other aspects unique to this place. I enjoyed my complimentary facial. This is a lounge where you can easily pass a couple of hours without being bored.

"won't be going back to their LAX lounge"

(United States)

Verified Review | I flew Los Angeles to London Heathrow in July 2016 and visited the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse lounge briefly. The seats were incredibly uncomfortable; the “background music” was loud and intrusive — I moved seats three times to try to get away from the overhead speakers (without success); the menu was very limited and definitely not outstanding. I stayed about 30 minutes, couldn’t take the noise any longer, then headed across the hall to the Air Canada lounge where it was peaceful, the food choices far more varied, and the seats very comfortable and relaxing. “Trendy” Virgin may be, but a seasoned traveler, who is not looking for a flashy faux nightclub atmosphere, will prefer another quieter airline lounge. I may travel Virgin Upper Class again but won't be going back to their LAX lounge.

"views are absolutely spectacular"

(United States)

As a lifetime member of the United Club, I had intended to visit our lounge at HKG; it's temporarily closed. Because I am flying on EVA Air to TPE, as a Star Alliance Gold, they gave me a pass to the Virgin Clubhouse. Normally Star Golds would have three options at HKG: a Singapore Silver Kris, a Thai, and the United Club. Access to the Virgin Clubhouse is the bonus. The views are absolutely spectacular. The food and beverages are outstanding. There is even a printed menu outlining the various options - not quite the equal of the Turkish business lounge in IST, but still more than adequate. At noontime, the lounge is essentially empty. There are bar stool seats, counter seats, and comfortable cushioned chairs aplenty. The receptionist and all the service personnel are polite, efficient, and attentive. I had hoped to compare and contrast the United Club here at HKG with the impressive new club at LHR. The fact that the club here is closed ended up rewarding me with an unexpected outstanding alternative experience.

"dreadfully uncomfortable seats"

(United Kingdom)

New lounge for Virgin Atlantic after years of sharing the Air New Zealand facilities. Opening hours from around two in the afternoon to probably nine at night when the second flight has departed. Opened in the spring of 2015. Very bright, plenty of space as I assume it only covers the two flights a day to LHR. Food rather limited, you can sit down and order a cooked snack similar to the Heathrow lounge, but food is more limited. However it is an improvement on the dry bread and salad offered in previously used Air New Zealand lounge. Nice bar quite well stocked, this is waitress service and not the old help yourself drinks. Good wifi and views of the runway. Staff polite and helpful. Our main complaint would be the seating, flashy, bright but dreadfully uncomfortable. Some of the couches have seats that are three feet deep - unless you have four of five cushions behind you, there is no way on earth you can lean back. Again most of the chairs have very little back, or make you sit at a weird angle. They have obviously paid some way out designer a load of money to select the seating, but as a relaxation before boarding its a one out of ten.

"amazed anyone would pay for access"

(United Kingdom)

The No.1 Traveller Lounge at Gatwick was offered as part of booking and isn't the Virgin Clubhouse. I'm amazed anyone would pay for access to this lounge. It's cramped. The food is decidedly average and over breakfast : early morning they struggled to maintain quantity never mind quality. Bar is serviced and limited selection only. Toilets were a disgrace and need refurbishment. When we arrived had to clean tables to find a space. Subsequently an overworked but pleasant young staff member got on top of the cleaning of tables - just! Perhaps some of those standing around at the bar / entrance might have helped? Paper selection was ok and same goes for magazines although both were limited in number.

"Staff are friendly"

(United Kingdom)

Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Boston Logan, and the food selection is wide meaning you can have some posh nosh, or a simple burger. Varying types of alcohol mean you aren't restricted in choice and service is plentiful, you aren't sat long before you're offered a drink. Toilets are private, exactly what you want before a flight to allow you to freshen up, change clothes even. Staff are friendly and willing to make a joke or two. Whilst this lounge is very small, it's such good service, you really won't mind in the slightest.

"the best lounge that I have been in"

(Canada)

This is the best lounge that I have been in. Eat what you want. Service is fantastic. Free spa services. I would fly Virgin again so we can experience this lounge once more.

"let down by the limited choice of menu"

(United Kingdom)

A bit disappointed. My lasting memory will be the red covered pool table rather than the food or ambience? Shame it's a nice spot but let down by the limited choice of menu. The staff were friendly but working with limited resources in terms of food. Time to innovate?

"the internet was a disaster"

(South Africa)

For a brand new lounge the internet was a disaster everyone was getting frustrated. I came to the lounge 3 hours before my flight to work what a waste of my time.
