2,3 - The only virgin clubhouse accesible to CO passengers is the one in Newark terminal B. In London, with an upper class ticket you might be able to sneak into the clubhouse although CO is using another lounge which is not as good.</font>
This may have been your experience, but it does not mirror my experiences or the literature that CO provides with respect to
lounge benefits for CO (codeshare) passengers traveling in VS UC.
CO/VS lounge reciprocity is explained here. I have also had this information confirmed by both CO and VS via private email.
It seems like some people have had good experiences, and others not so good. If you are at all concerned about your access, please print the above link and carry it with you while you travel.
Bottom Line: You should absolutely be granted access to all VS Clubhouse lounges on departure, but
not the Arrivals Lounge at LHR on arrival. In lieu, you will have access to the Air Canada Arrivals Lounge at T3.
