V-Flyer

My wife and I will spend some time at the JFK and LHR Virgin Clubhouse in June. We will not be carrying a laptop computer with us. My question, though, is whether there is any internet access at the JFK and LHR clubhouses for a passenger without a personal computer? There will be no need to check e-mail. My wife simply needs to access some web sites for a correspondence course she is taking. If there is such access, what is the protocol for using the computer? Is there a charge? Thanks in advance for any replies.

See Richard's excellent report on the JFK clubhouse at http://www.v-flyer.com/jfkclubhouse.asp where he mentions 5 Apple macs available for browsing. The LHR clubhouse had two PCs last time I was in - locked down a bit too tightly for my tastes (http://www.gotomypc.com) but fine for normal browsing.

No charges apply either way.

The London PCs seem very sensitive. Try to access V-Flyer and they bomb out the browser. There is no way to get the browser back other than a reboot. Not pretty.

This has been mentioned elswhere in relation to the PC's at the LGW Clubhouse, I must say I was onto the v-flyer site on one of the Clubhouse PC's for about an hour when we flew out of LGW in March without any problems whatsoever.

The sooner they get wireless in their lounges the better.[:(!]

When I visited the SFO Clubhouse the 2 PC's worked just fine when viewing the V-Flyer web site .

I could not get the wireless to work though in the SFO Clubhouse even though my card found 2 hot-spots, it did however work in the domestic departure gate area at though.

Never tried wirless at LHR in any terminal yet. Has T3 got any wireless hot spots yet [?]

JFK Clubhouse has Wireless Internet acces, visit the business area and there is a card there with insturction on how to set it up on your PC.

Wi-Fi is comign to the LHR Clubhosue as part of its renovation.

Thanks,
Richard
