Heathrow VIP Service - By Invitation

[Flying Fox]

Want the full royal/diplomatic treatment at LHR?

Find the Concord room too boring/dull/normal?

Want to treat yourself and pretend that you and your family are U2?

Or simply the biggest DYKWIA this world has ever seen?

In that case, this service could be for you.....

Heathrow

I would love to give it a go one day but I don't have £1500 (+20% VAT) to spend and I'm not important enough. Ah but its great to dream.

Anyway, I thought that this service might be of value to some of you out there. I only ask that if anyone does it, please include the experience in a trip report.

Enjoy

If someone is willing to stump up the £1500 I will happily produce a detailed trip report for all to read. Any takers?

This is what I was expecting when I tried the Centurion meet & greet for the first time. I was bitterly disappointed (though - we did get express immigration and a rep walked us aircraft to car). 1500 pound is a bit of an overkill.

PS... How does one enter a pound symbol from a keyboard with only a $ sign?

Press [ALT]+0163 for £ (Keep the [ALT] Key pressed while entering the numbers on the numeric keypad to the right of most keyboards.)

*(0162 gives ¢ and 0128 for €)

Option 3 works on my Mac


On-topic: this lounge would have to be stupendously above the QF F lounges to be worth that kind of money...

Or if you have a Mac you can just hold down Option and press 3

Apart from the privacy aspect which their target market might find useful, the service itself doesn't appeal to me. No showers available, and then there's this:
"What food and drinks are available?
Passengers are offered tea, coffee, biscuits and a small alcohol selection."

I would want some sort of food service and not just "light refreshments" for that price

 

[haydensydney]

Option + 3 on my Mac wins!

lovestotravel - my new mac air is on it's way in the postal system... *waits patiently*

Put the money towards a LH F Flight and I think you'd have a better time in the LH F Terminal in FRA.

For £1500, I'd want more than a "hotel room with light refreshments", esp as you only get 3 hours to enjoy said room.

I suppose though if you where a VIP, at risk of being mobbed where ever you went, and had money to burn thus £1500 is pocket money, an hour of piece and quite before your flight would be desirable.
