I'm flying virgin business class on an award booking today. I'd like to take a flight three hours earlier and was wondering if anyone had experience with this in so far as getting counter staff to change it. I am the lowest tier flier with virgin. There are three paid seats on the flight I want and ten on the later flight I'd like to change from. Any advice would be appreciated. :-)
But what about my checked bag? Thanks
You have already checked in your bag for the later flight? It shouldn't be a problem anyway.
No. Have not yet checked my bag, but I will have to at check in. My understanding is that I will check in before going to the lounge. Anyway, I'm enroute now. We'll see what happens. Thank you.
Every class is sold out in the earlier flight. The lounge is not a bad place to literally piss away a few hours. The food is absolute and complete rubbish. Shocking in fact.
OMG.And the lounge chairs are filthy. Other than the included grog this is worse than the public transport I took to get here!
That's too bad, availability can be a bit hit and miss on the day of departure with people doing upgrades and last minute changes. Sorry to hear about the lounge, which airport were you flying out of?
Perth. In right service was impeccable. Craft stunning and fantastic crew.
Thanks, I'll make sure the feedback is passed on. Do you remember if it was terminal 2 or 3?

Not usually a problem if you just ask at the lounge, they refer to it as "GoShow". You may not receive a meal for the flight you change too though as the catering would probably be already packed for that aircraft.
