Do Virgin have their own lounge at Heathrow?

The original Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse and Revivals Lounge at London Heathrow is a favourite with our passengers, and it's easy to see why. Located in our dedicated Upper Class Wing, it's more like a five-star hotel than an airport lounge.



Yes, Virgin Atlantic operates its world-famous Clubhouse at London Heathrow Terminal 3. It is widely considered one of the best airport lounges in the world, known for its "boutique hotel" atmosphere rather than a traditional corporate waiting room. The Heathrow Clubhouse features a multi-sensory experience, including an à la carte dining menu (no sad buffets here), a full cocktail bar, a rooftop observation deck to watch planes take off, and even a "Peloton" room for those wanting a pre-flight workout. Access is granted to passengers flying in Upper Class, as well as Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Gold members and certain elite members of partner airlines like Delta and SkyTeam. Unlike many other airlines that share lounges, the Clubhouse is a dedicated Virgin space that embodies the brand's focus on style and service. If you are flying in a lower cabin, you can occasionally purchase access, but it remains a primarily exclusive sanctuary for premium travelers.

If not for the wider seats, you should definitely upgrade to Virgin's Premium economy for a superior meal. Back in economy, you may receive a packaged meal with much fewer options, but I was quite impressed with the meal service I had.
