Eligibility is all explained on the website - you have to be booked in J D C or I (previously R) - http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/gb/en...-in-style.html
So, cheap Z fares and other less flexible tickets won't qualify.
As far as booking is concerned, there is a link on the website, here - http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/gb/en...per-class.html
I have never used HEX, so can't comment on which is best - I stick to the old, slow, crowded (but a lot cheaper) Piccadilly line

Hi,
If you are going by car from Covent garden ( and not driving yourself) I would probably stick with the car) as you would need to get to Paddington ( where the Heathrow express leaves from) by bus/taxi or underground and with luggage this could be awkward.
The Piccadilly line could be busy also but runs direct to Heathrow as mentined by Nottingham Nick.
