Excellent!!! I am a frequent flyer with Virgin. I have been in the Delta Sky lounge in Orlando, it is really nice. I have never used the revivals lounge. When I get back to England I just grab my bags and head home. What is really neat for anyone reading this is the experience at Heathrow. If you are flying upper class, do not get a shuttle bus from your hotel or car park. They will take you to the terminal for sure, but they cannot get up to the Upper Class Wing. One cab driver missed the turn and he had to go around to get back to it, I insisted. You are driven up the ramp to the separate check in area. They know that you are coming having spoken with you on the intercom and they will meet you and take your bags. Weigh them in and you are away. Straight to the security check with a short straight passage, none of the zig zagging with everyone else and taking time. Then you head to the lounge. It has never taken me more than ten minutes from arriving and entering the Virgin Clubhouse. The Clubhouse is excellent. I always look to spend a couple of hours in there before I head off to board and that time flies by....... The Upper Class Wing and the Clubhouse are yours if you have paid for your ticket. Enjoy the experience.
❤ Meagan, you make me happy to see your joy. My wife of 44 years and I are going Business class to Athens in November 2023. She has never gone business class. I am so excited for her also. Bravo to you both.
I loved Megan’s genuine excitement about this flight. What a great happy dance. My wife an I upgraded our last flight on a Virgin 747 in 2018 to Upper Class for our outward flight from Manchester (UK) to Orlando. The pandemic stopped our travel planned plans since, having trips cancelled in 2020 and 2021. With that disappointment, as a treat, we both booked Outward and Inward flights in Upper Class (sadly not with great savings you made) with Virgin from Manchester again flying on a A330 when we visit Orlando for the whole of April in 2023. This really put me in the mood for that trip now. Sadly Manchester doesn’t have the lounge Heathrow has when we arrive home, but we only live 20 minutes from the airport.
So happy to hear you were able to rebook your trip! April in Orlando is the perfect time to be there. I hope you and your wife love the new upper class, I believe it’s a little different than the 747. Enjoy your flight and your trip! Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewandMegan - looking forward to it all. I have even surprised her with a three night Disney cruise. Our first ever. By the way I hope you enjoyed visiting the uk. I’ll check out your Scotland videos. Take care.
Love this, Megan I will be exactly like you next June as I have booked upper class from Manchester to Orlando for me and my husband 😜 I can't wait to vlog my experience 👏👏👏
@ Andrew and Megan - great video. I will be traveling LHR to Las Vegas early January on the A350 Upper Class. I now know what a great experience I have to look forward to. Thank You.
You are just lucky to have got the A350 . I have to fly from Manchester to Atlanta and that plane is an A330. Upper Class is much smaller and very cramped. Oh for the Big Beautiful 747 s ! They really were worth the money.
Awesome video, trying to book the exact flight from MCO to LHR for June and the points needed are a lot higher than that right now. Awesome deal you got for sure, I will ride it out as long as possible to see if they come down.
Yeah, we have noticed a bit of a spike in flights recently. Fingers crossed you catch a deal. Ours was a one way flight by the way, so did help with the deal! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Virgin Upper Class looks awesome with great service from the cabin crew. Definitely a great way to travel for such a special occasion. Great video showing genuine reactions. Now you've had a taste of the high life, you may find it hard to travel in economy again. Haha
Haha! That is true. It really was a wonderful experience. We’re always blown away by the cabin crew in Virgin and this was on another level! Thanks for watching and enjoying it with us!
haha I cried for her, I am such a happy weeper!. just a wonderful surprise ! . I was given a surprise on virgin upper-class flying from JFK to London as well. Its such an amazing experience. thanks for sharing yours!
It’s after baggage pick up and passport control. You have to go up an elevator, there is a bright yellow sign that says Arrivals Lounges and it’s on the first floor! Enjoy!
Love this video, thank you for sharing. quick question, is there a dedicated upper class security in Orlando or do you have to go through with everyone else? I know Heathrow has dedicated.
Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. As for your question, yes, there is a dedicated upper class security in Orlando in (terminal A, I believe), just like at Heathrow. It's one of the perks of flying in upper/business class!
@@AndrewandMegan Thank you for coming back to me. we've never flown upper class so this will be a real treat for our first ever trip to Disney world. only doing the return flight back to the UK as its a night flight. so very excited.
@@Funky-monkey79 You're welcome! Have an amazing time at Disney World and enjoy the night flight back to the UK! Flying Upper Class will be a great ending to the trip ❤
We totally ran into that issue as well when flying to Manchester... It’s normally the later flight out. If it helps, the flight experience is better than the lounge!
Great Video Andrew and fab reaction from Megan. I have been flying VA since 1999, i flew my first Upper Class flight in 2004, i try to fly as much as possible in Upper. Have flown on the 747, A340-400 & 600, A330 & 200, 787, but yet to fly on the A350. I fly in three weeks to Jamaica with my son in Upper but on the 787. The comment from Megan being an anxious flyer, but being in UC seems not to be flying is spot on. There's something about the bigger seat and the lighting and space, that makes it feel so enjoyable, even when you have bad turbulence. Not sure if you made it to Cambridge on your travels? But i hope you had a fab time. All the very best, Jason.
Thanks Jason! Glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you get to experience the A350 UC soon! We haven’t made it to Cambridge yet, but we’re still here so we’re adding it to the list! Enjoy your next flight and have fun in Jamaica with your son!
@@AndrewandMegan Thanks Andrew, if you make it to Cambridge let me know. It's only an hour and 20 from Heathrow and has some amazing buildings and places to see. Enjoy this viedo, it might tempt you- th-cam.com/video/78LWxvCA-fM/w-d-xo.html
Hi John! For this particular trip I used the Chase Ink Business Preferred 100,000 point Sign Up Bonus which gives me access to the Chase Ultimate Rewards Travel Portal. You can learn more about it here: indefinitetravel.com/cip However, if you don't own your own business or think you'll meet the minimum spend for that card, I recommend checking out the Venture X card here: capital.one/3YYAOMK It has a 75,000 point sign up bonus which you can transfer to Virgin for Upper Class seats, plus you get lounge access no matter what airline you fly, along with a lot of other perks right now. Let me know if you have any other questions. Always happy to help!
@@AndrewandMegan They had a January sale going on so got it a little less than normal. I also used my Chase points as a statement credit to pay the fees so it technically cost me $0! :)
They didn’t for upper class. We have flown Virgin economy before and they only weighed our checked bags. I would say it likely depends on the airport you’re flying out of and/or if your carry looks oversized.
@AndrewandMegan thanks! Flying out of Orlando to Heathrow in April, and just concerned if they will be anal if I go 3 pounds over the carryon requirements
@@captainDJ87 You can never be certain, however, I think you should be okay, as we’ve never had our carry-on weighed flying out of Orlando (knocks on wood*). Happy travels btw!
@@AndrewandMegan am to cheap to even pay that if I did have points lol cost me 420 return to get to Orlando 3 years ago normal seat tho, I onlw prices have gone up alot, did you have fun in Edinburgh when the vlog coming out
@@edinburghandbeyond We had a great time there during Fringe and it was awesome to meet you in Edinburgh as well! We’re releasing a video every Sunday, so I think that one will be in 3 weeks on Sept 4th 🔥

Best travel surprise ever! ✈️ Well done on planning it all out Andrew; that $12K savings was huge! Megan’s reactions to the biz class were hilarious 😄
Right?! Her reactions were even better than I excepted!
What a wonderful way to travel for the special occasion!
It was wonderful, magical, extraordinary! We feel very grateful!
Love this, Megan I will be exactly like you next June as I have booked upper class from Manchester to Orlando for me and my husband 😜 I can't wait to vlog my experience 👏👏👏
@@vickisworldtravel have the best time!!! I hope you are dancing through the airport with excitement 😆😍
@@AndrewandMegan I sure will be 😝😝😝 I can’t wait x
@ Andrew and Megan - great video. I will be traveling LHR to Las Vegas early January on the A350 Upper Class. I now know what a great experience I have to look forward to. Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it! That’s a long flight, so you’ll have a wonderful time!
Awwww I love her reaction
It was the best! Thanks for enjoying it with us 🙂

Andrew definitely researched to find an A350 flight. But we’re flying the A330 back to the states, so we’ll have a little comparison.
If you get Bank of America travel rewards, you can get points and use them to travel any airline, any class, or hotel
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

Is the Virgin Revival’s lounge located near the baggage pick up area at LHR?
It’s after baggage pick up and passport control. You have to go up an elevator, there is a bright yellow sign that says Arrivals Lounges and it’s on the first floor! Enjoy!
@@AndrewandMegan Thank you!

I am flying Manchester to MCO and return upper in April (2024). Only problem I have found is the lounge closes at 8.30pm and we fly at 10pm. 😤
We totally ran into that issue as well when flying to Manchester... It’s normally the later flight out. If it helps, the flight experience is better than the lounge!

Well thank you! So glad you enjoyed!
Bro I just booked the same plane in upper class from london to atlanta for only 38k miles
EPIC! Virgin has some great redemptions. Enjoy the flight!

@@Booster6969 even better!
Very happy 😂❤
It was quite exciting! ❤️
Well done!

Does Virgin in Orlando actually weigh the "carryons"?
They didn’t for upper class. We have flown Virgin economy before and they only weighed our checked bags. I would say it likely depends on the airport you’re flying out of and/or if your carry looks oversized.
@AndrewandMegan thanks! Flying out of Orlando to Heathrow in April, and just concerned if they will be anal if I go 3 pounds over the carryon requirements

7k a ticket that's mad but very cool how you got it for free
Right?! Pretty sweet deal! We hope everyone learns how to travel like this 🙌

She will be soon and I couldn’t agree more!
