Virgin Atlantic Lounge Gatwick (review and pictures)

…of money into their home base lounges and I have been to the one at London Heathrow many times. This is quite something and I am sure it must still be the best and most impressive airport lounge around. You can read and see more about that lounge in the review I did by clicking here. The last time I was in a Virgin lounge at Gatwick was years ago, and the lounge now is light years ahead of what it used to be. It is not on the scale of the London H…

Continental Airlines USA Review

…his leg of my trip was part of a round trip on Virgin Atlantic from London Heathrow – Los Angeles – New York – London Heathrow. As Continental is a partner alliance airline with Virgin they did the internal US leg. As it was a business fare, I was travelling First on Continental. The Continental flight was so close to being good, but just not quite there considering how much it costs. Though I believe these days not that many people actually pay t…

Virgin Atlantic: 10 minutes from check-in to lounge put to the test

On Saturday, I flew with Virgin Atlantic out of London Heathrow for Tokyo Narita airport. I had not flown with them since they started advertising their new “10 minutes from limo to lounge” based on the new check-in and security set up they have put in place. If you fly Upper Class you can get collected by a limo and taken to the airport. You get met at a special drive-in area in Terminal 3 and then there is a special passage that leads to a dedi…

British Aiways 747 Heathrow 2006, originally uploaded by garybembridge. I was very pleased and impressed yesterday when I got a call from British Airways Customer Service to personally apologize for an issue I had on the flight I did from London Heathrow to New York Newark. The new video on demand system, which I believe is causing some problems generally, was not working at my seat. This problem also affected the person next to me and the 2 seat…

British Airways: Handling the knock-on effects for delayed passengers

Sky News reporting the BA plane crash at London Heathrow Jan 2008, originally uploaded by garybembridge. I flew to Moscow on BA, and my flight was cancelled on the way back due to the crash landing of the BA flight at Heathrow. The way that British Airways handled it was though as good. It again showed how helpful BA customer service can be. Something I have written about before on the blog, and how they do look after card holders and regular fli…

SOUTH AFRICA TRIP: Part 1 Getting to Cape Town

…ying back and being lazy. We flew in yesterday (Christmas Day) from London Heathrow on Virgin Atlantic. For anyone that thinks that flying on Christmas day will find a quiet airport and even quieter plane needs to scrap that thought! Terminal 3 at Heathrow was jam packed. The Virgin lounge was heaving. Luckily as we were flying Upper Class we could fly through security as Virgin has this cleaver dedicated security lane that I wrote about in an ear…

…ervice letting me know that someone was on their way to whisk me to London Heathrow to catch a flight to Barcelona. Bleary eyed I rammed the last of my packing into my carry-on case and checked once again I had my passport, credit card and the Holland America check-in documents. I tried to carry my suitcase case loaded with my tuxedo, swimming trunks – and a wide assortment of gadgets that I unnecessarily insist on travelling with – down the stair…
