I'm flying Upper for the first time ever after 47 summers later in the year. I want to maximise the experience. Can I get an Uber or a Hackney to the Upper Class Wing? Or is it just for Virgin's Chauffeur service (which I won't be using, as it's a redemption).
Pretty regular UC flyer, but personally never used the car check in. I like arriving by Tube or Train (no traffic jam risks) so always opt for that.
Once checked in at T3, be it by car or walk-up, you get to directed through the same private UC security channel (which is great) so no change there.
Enjoy the LHR Lounge, its wonderful - easily one of the best, though they seem to be diluting the product more and more with alliance flyers being let in. (and not reciprocated - try being VS Gold and getting into a Delta or AF lounge - the rules say one thing but their desks say No/ Non. I've given up arguing - leaves a bad taste)
Flight is a very good experience, enjoy it. I always go to the Revivals lounge on my return to LHR. A gentle way to regroup after an overnight flight from USA. But many prefer to get on with their journey - your call.
