Flying home from New York JFK to London Heathrow soon? Before you queue up for your Pret flat white and gate seat, here’s a travel secret most people don’t know, you can use your Priority Pass to access the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse JFK.

The Best Lounges at Heathrow – Ranked from Champagne to Chaos
Let’s be honest – Heathrow is one of those airports that can go from smooth sailing to “why is there a 45-minute queue for Pret?” in the blink of an eye. But there’s a silver lining: get yourself into a decent lounge and suddenly things feel much calmer (and tastier).
I’ve been in and out of Heathrow more times than I care to count, and I've visited most of the Priority Pass-accessible lounges – some great, some just... there. Here’s how I rank them, based on my real visits

Review: No 1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 Is This the Swankiest Spot Before Take-Off?
Great question, and one that many Google users are frantically searching mid-terminal. The No1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 is not exactly front and centre. Once you’re through security, head towards Gates A1 to A5. Now here’s where it gets weird: take the lift down one level. It’ll feel like you’re being dropped into a subterranean bunker – no natural light, no runway views, and the mood lighting of a swanky members club.
