Frequently Asked Questions

Can I access the Clubhouse with Priority Pass?

No. The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse does not accept Priority Pass. Access requires a Virgin Atlantic Upper Class ticket, Virgin Gold status, or a qualifying Delta One codeshare booking.

Why are the hours so limited?

The Clubhouse operates around the evening London departure schedule. Virgin Atlantic flies to London from EWR in the evening, so the lounge opens at 4:00 PM to serve those passengers.

Is this lounge better than the United Club?

It is a different tier. The Clubhouse offers restaurant-style dining, spa showers, and premium cocktails in a beautifully designed space. It is more comparable to the Polaris Lounge than a standard United Club.
