    My partner and I flew it 6 weeks ago. Certainly not worth paying top dollars for, but it was comfortable enough.We flew in the A350 on the HKG-HEL link. The plane was really nice, incredibly open, the food was pretty decent. Not the best business class but certainly not the worst. The trip to J...

    Fantastic, thank you both for the tips.  I've just read up on "The Pier" it sounds great, I think we have a 3 hour stop over in HK so we should get some value out of it.We'll try out the Cathay lounge in London too, I think we fly out out terminal 3.

  • Dress Code in Virgin Lounge?

    May 11, 2016, 03:19 PM

    I believe the rule is " smart casual attire". That being said I'm pretty sure I've been in the lounge with shorts, tshirt and thongs before as I've been going to the beach and it's been fine.I don't think you'll have a problem, if you looks smart.  If you turned up with thongs and a rat...

  • Yes, upgrading with points. And thank you for the advice to keep checking!! I probably wouldn't have.
