Who the Wing is for
Access is limited to Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and Delta One passengers, along with select Flying Club and SkyMiles elite members and their guests. Eligibility is checked against your flight details before arrival, not at the barrier itself.
See our full eligibility guide for the full eligibility list and how we coordinate it with Virgin Atlantic ahead of your journey.
Getting to the Wing by car
The Upper Class Wing has its own entrance, separate from the standard Terminal 3 drop-off, and it isn't signposted the way most passengers expect. A booking reference is required at the barrier, and the vehicle must meet the ramp's height and access requirements before it's waved through.
Our how our chauffeurs handle the barrier and drop-of covers the exact turning, the barrier procedure, and the drop-off charge as standard, so you don't need to brief the driver yourself.

Make the journey match the flight
The Wing experience deserves a journey that matches it. Crownwood Charters provides the chauffeur-driven transfer, from a fleet of Mercedes S-Class, E-Class, and Range Rover Autobiography vehicles, through to the private drop-off ramp itself.
Final thoughts: the Upper Class Wing at Heathrow
The Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Wing is the epitome of premium travel at Heathrow. With exclusive access, private check-in, priority security, and the Clubhouse lounge, it ensures your journey begins long before you board the plane.
