Tokio - LHR VA

I shall be returning from Narita UC on 09 Nov and note that the lounge that deals with showers etc closes at 13h00approx when my flight VA901 hits the deck at 15h45 following an "overnight" flight.

Are there any special arrangements for the passengers from this flight to use the facilities please?

My first posting on this NG; have not found anything on the VA900/901 flights. Perhaps this route is not used frequently!!

TIA

Welcome to V-Flyer, Pengam

You are right, AFAIK there isn't a single Narita TR in the TR section [:I] We look forward to the day that ends!!

There was talk on the forum a few months ago about VS024, the second LAX flight. There was a similar problem with that flight i.e. Revivals being closed when it landed at 1530.

First of all it was suggested that UC PAX may be able to use the facilities of a Holiday Inn close to LHR, then it was announced that VS would be extending the opening hours of Revivals.

I can't find the thread, and don't know what the latest is[:I]... I am sure others will be able to advise.

Edit....... This is the link to the old thread

Edit....Thanks to Phil and Jag for finding the links that I missed. I now realise that checking the 'archived posts' box in the search page means that you only search archived posts.. not as I thought, all posts including the archives. [:I][:I]

A quick search reveals 6 TR's, including 2 in UCS.

Do a search for NRT and limit result to 'subject line' and Trip Reports-Virgin Atlantic.

Here are a couple of TRs from our trip to Tokyo last August.In reply to the OP there are no arrivals arangments for these flights at LHR(not last August anyway),and the NRT check-in only opens 2.5 hours before departure.

A picture of NRT lounge for you.

Thanks for all your superb replies.

Will post the outward and return trip reports when back in November.
