Review: Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Washington Dulles Int’l Airport (IAD), Concourse A
The Dulles Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse has many of the features that people appreciate about these lounges: mainly a modern and playful decor.

maybe the oddest lounge I have ever visited.. A rather small pre-security lounge at JFK’s terminal one has made to order food, a welcoming reception team, an expedited security lane of its own, and is surprisingly quiet – but the lack of available outlets and no in-lounge bathrooms detract from...
