Virgin twighlight check-in???

[Craig Adams]

Can anyone tell me the opening times for this check-in service as we are hoping to use it next November when we (for the first time) fly from Gatwick and are hoping to stay at the Hilton.
Also should I book the Hilton sooner rather than later??.
And do I need to tell Virgin I will be using the check-in or not.
Thanks

Hi Craig,

PS
You don't need to tell Virgin you will be using the service! also what price have you been quoted for the Hilton? I was quoted £83 for a family room without car parking, has anyone done better? (for 15/3/03)

How did you get the £83 price ?????

I have just phoned the Hilton direct and they quoted me £170 !!!! for a family room with no parking. They said it might be cheaper through an agent......

Just wanted to say that this past trip, ABC were quoting £99 for the Hilton, but £85 for the Meridien (in the North Terminal) and I actually preferred the Meridien!

Can you enlighten me as to what the Twilight check-in service is ? I´m guessing it´s checking in luggage in the evening for a flight the next day ?

I´m flying Virgin from Heathrow to NY on Sept 18 - does it operate at Heathrow too ?

Thanks.

twilight checkin is only available for Gatwick to Orlando and Miami flights and it allows you to check in the night before you fly

Hi Tony,

I obtained the price through The Travel House in Swansea, their telephone No. is 01792 646465. I will double check the price as soon as I am able and will re-post or PM you.

Thanks to all the replies on this.....

I booked the Gatwick Hilton today for 2/12. Cost for family room was £114. - better than what the hotel was quoting me...

Thanks again,

Tony
