Virgin upper class lounges

[mike4scuba]

When you fly upper class with virgin what time before your flight are you allowed to enter the lounges at Manchester and Orlando airports

3 hours before your flight, but they're not strict, we've gone in closer to 4.

I wasn't aware there was a limit when it was an airline invite?
We've done five hours at the MCO Delta lounge without issue but rarely do more than two and a half hours in advance of boarding with living close to MAN.

We were stopped from entering until 3 hours before our flight... this was at Gatwick and we had paid for clubhouse entry.

I have arrived five hours before a flight to their CH lounges and havent had a problem. Other lounges may have limits though.

I don’t believe there’s a limit with the UC invite. If you have to pay for a lounge though, they do restrict entry, especially when it’s busy.

I don't fly through MAN but had no problem entering close to 4 hours before flight at both LGW and MCO on my last trip. I'd prefer not to arrive that early but it's just the way the drop off times worked out. As others have said, they rarely time limit invited (rather than paid) guests.

In Manchester you cannot enter the lounge until you have checked in.
The gate generally opens around 3hrs before.
Hopefully once flying again the new lounge in Manchester will be open. If not it’s the escape plus lounge - which is average at best!
As for the Orlando lounge, we opt for the food vouchers and by pass the lounge. We like to have a meal in the outback prior to boarding

Sorry to hijack this post but we’re hoping to upgrade up Upper class coming home With Virgin on our next trip from MCO but to humour ourselves we’ve been you-tubing it, it seems very noisy & dare I say it abit chaotic compared to the virgin first class lounge at Heathrow where they offer massages etc

Can you tell me if that was the case when you were there ?
