London HR to Newark (with Virgin Atlantic)
There is a 2 hour 25 minute window in HR on the way out & 7 hours 25 mins on the way back (shouldn't be a problem saying only check my bags to London on the way back as I want to sightsee??
Also, I there are two of us on the reservation, if you really don't recommend not getting on the 1st leg - could one of us go to Dublin & the other one join in London?
Thanks!
If this works, it's only because there is a software glitch and Virgin agent is asleep at the switch. Your TATL will amost certainly be cancelled as soon as the first segment leaves DUB without you. Virgin will refare and collect the walk-up fare for TATL (which is likely to be many times what it is in advance) if it has not already booked somebody into the seat.
Even if you get away with this outbound, Virgin won't short-check your bag. In other words, ticket to DUB means bag to DUB. Asking for short-check is a 100% sign to any carrier that you intend to end the itinerary early.
At a minimum, no checked bags and understand that you need to look at the likelihood that you will get hit up for 3-4 times what you paid on departure by Virgin.
