Twilight check in?

[Debs Hill]

Can anyone tell me whether this will be operating with Virgin in October 2003? I know it doesn't run in 'off' season, but wondered when that started!

hi deb

I e-mailed virgin about this around a month ago, as people were saying they were going to end it, i had a reply back saying they intended to keep it open, and will not close this winter, i think it was origanally open until the end of october anyway.

hope this helps sam

There was a whole thread on this. I had an E-mail back from Virgin which i posted. This said it would be open indefinately....

Is Twilight available at Manchester or just Gatwick?

hi

we plan to use twilight checkin when we travel in sept so we just have to turn up at the departure gate 1 hour before the flight....

we are travelling on the 11.15am flight on a saturday and i'm concerned how long all the security checks will take.....

what time would you recommend arriving at the airport?

cheers

Received our Frequent Virgin Club member's magazine from Virgin in the post this morning.

It has an article in there all about Twilight Check-in, gives no end-date, just says for ALL Virgin holidaymakers travelling from Gatwick.

Must say all the new Virgin logo and branding brings it a little more up to date than the luggage label logo

And - for those shopaholics amongst us (ie ME), they've even enclosed the Virgin Shop little brochure .. "full of goodies to help you travel". ie the most comfortable (apparently) neck pillow at £20, special travel bag at £35 etc. etc.

Sir Richard's obviously in need of some spare change then

Neil,

I rang Virgin a couple of days ago and was advised that, when using Twilight Check-in, you still need to be at the airport at least 2 hours before the flight due to security checks.

in the e-mails i've had from virgin customer service they've said only 1 hour

it depends on who you speak to at virgin on what answer you're given

i think we'll get there 2 hours before the flight just to be safe as there's always loads to do in the departure lounge

besides, i want a pint to start my holiday off

That just shows that nobody at Virgin knows what is going on

We are allowing 2 hours because I hate being late or even a risk of being late - at least we bypass the queue for checking in.

i would rather get there an hour early and take things easy
