Have a great flight & holiday! Do be warned though, once you've got the Upper Class bug it's an expensive habit!

It's the worst kept secret, but it's being built in the new T2 Extension that opens in April. Dunno why Virgin haven't released an announcement yet - MAN airport themselves have confirmed it.

Looking forward to having enough miles to upgrade to UC for my 50th birthday trip to New York and San Francisco in a couple of years. I'd be in the clubhouse for as long as I possibly could

It's on level 45 (mezzanine level above departures) in T2X (Terminal 2 Extension). It should open with T2X in April next year and is expected to be a similar setup to the LGW Clubhouse / V-Room. Single entrance for both and then turn one way for the Clubhouse & the other for the V-Room.

Why Virgin are holding back on the announcement is beyond me - photos of the "Virgin Lounge" under construction in T2X are available online.

When T2X opens, much of the existing T2 will close for a refurbishment (although I am sure they will keep some of the contact gates open, i.e. ones with jetbridges, if they can). This more than likely means the existing lounges in T2 will become unusable.
