Guide by Lounge Frog
Details checked
At a glance
One of two lounges in Airside F, and the lowest-rated of them. A contract lounge with a proper place to work and coffee made by a person rather than a button. It seats around 80 and runs a full bar. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Clubhouse — Contract lounge used by Virgin Atlantic at TPA for Upper Class and Flying Club Gold; opens ~4 hours before the VS departure. Entry conditions and availability apply.
