Quote from the Virgin Atlantic website.

"All services on February 11th will still operate in and out of Terminal 1. All flights from February 12th onwards will operate in and out of Terminal 4."

I have never been through JFK with VS how does this effect the lounge?

There will be a brand new VS Clubhouse in T4. At present this is not scheduled to be open until 18 Feb so between 12 and 18 arrangements have been made to use the Aer Lingus Lounge in T4.

Thanks for the update Baz not going until April so it should be all up and running as long as the time scale is not the same as the suite refit.

Booked 2 tickets to go to JFK this morning so I can see the new Clubhouse and operation in March.

I'll let you all know my thoughts on the change.

Thanks,
Richard

Richard,

Which flight are you on on the 14th? If it's VS004 I'll be sitting way back in 35K wishing I could afford some legroom :)

Given that Economy starts at 30 and goes back to 65 your hardly waaaay back! :D You stand a good chance of getting your choice of foodand duty free too.

anteo,

I'm the worlds fussiest eater so I usually don't bother with the food... Right now I'm kinda hoping I'll get one of the planes WITHOUT V:Port for that flight, cos the economy seats with it are sooo tiny.

One day I'll be rich and kiss goodbye to this economy lifestyle :)

Grum (Graham but as my friends know me)

Hi,

Yes I'm on the VS4 too - I'm booked in Economy but I'm currently right down the back in row 60-something along with my shopping buddy!

May see you on the plane, Just look out for the small boy. If my buddy wasn't comign with me, I could have taken you into the new Clubhouse :(

Its only a short flight anyway, so I don't mind it. But if I'm flyign to the West Coast tehn its PE or UC only.

Thanks,
Richard
