from limo to lounge in 10 minutes?

Here's another reason to fly Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class from London Heathrow... besides the comfortable seats that lie completely flat for a good night's sleep, besides the onboard entertainment system, besides the complimentary massages, besides the complimentary chauffeur driven limousine transfers.

Virgin Atlantic has announced its new "Upper Class Wing at Heathrow." With "Drive Thru Check In," your bags will be wisked away as you get out at the terminal. Your chauffeur will check you in and hand you your boarding pass. Once inside, a dedicated priority elevator takes Upper Class and Flying Club Gold members directly to a Private Security Channel.

The headline on Virgin Atlantic's website promises, "From Limo to Lounge in 10 Minutes." Is it as quick and painless as they say? Have you experienced Upper Class Wing? You're invited to leave your comments here!
