Looking at all the other Skyteam airlines flying out of Heathrow long-haul, only 2 of them are flying out of Terminal 3 (Aeromexico & China Airlines) - the rest are all out of Terminal 4. So the impact of 2 extra daily long-haul flights surely won't have that much impact on crowds in the Clubhouse if they have a strict long-haul only policy.
My feeling is that there won't be any access. Virgin guard that as tight as the crown jewels. I will be extremely happy to be proved wrong!
