Book on DL, flying VS
 

Embarrassing question ... I have been flying for 40 years and have 2 MM with DL but have a question that only this group of friends can answer (hopefully in kindness).

I am booked on DL on Sept. 24 but flying on Virgin from ATL to LHR. First time on Virgin, looking for a little different experience. Do I check in at the international terminal with DL (surely VS does not have desk for one or two flights a day) or is there a VS desk?

If I check in with VS (assuming they have an agent) should I check in online with the DL app or download the VS app and use it for check in? I'm flying Premium Economy (with carry-on luggage) so hoping for a more pleasant experience than my DL Economy+ seats to Moscow and CDG.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From the VS ATL page "Counter check in: You’ll find our check in desks in Row 3 (door 2) of the International Terminal. Check in opens at 14:30 and closes at 16:30. Once we’ve got you checked in it’s a good idea to head straight through security and immigration, as the check in area can get busy."
VS PE is a good product. Comfortable seating & good entertainment.

You checkin using the airline operating your flight. This means if using an app, use the VS app. Yes VS normally has its own checkin, even at JFK they have their own checkin positions. DL may man the positions with DL agents in VS uniforms at some locations.

DL currently has no PE product. C+ is simply a slightly elevated level of service in the main cabin. It's one of the reasons I feel DL misrepresents C+ as PE with the change to W fares.

DL doesn't sell W fares on international flights so I don't see how they're misrepresenting it.

They just started or will start in a few days.

They do in some markets for travel on/after September 19th.

Thanks to all.

Bought my ticket 6 weeks ago and the category says:

Codeshare Operated
Premium (W) Class (W)

Looking forward to a real nice product with its own cabin and dinner on real "China" rather than ripping a sealed cover off a plastic container ... since the price is higher. Comfort+ International on DL is definitely not worth $100 or more each way for an inch or two more of recline.

Assuming you are flying PE on Virgin, here are some pics of what you can expect from the in-flight product.
