Creator's Key Takeaways

Turning up early to the terminal doesn't get you on the ship faster. It just means waiting.

Virgin assigns boarding times and they actually stick to them.

If your slot is 1:00 p.m., arrive at 1:00 p.m. You'll walk straight through.

Show up at 11:00 a.m. and you'll be sitting in a terminal for 2 hours for no reason.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive at your assigned boarding time to walk straight through.
Do not arrive hours early, as you will just wait in the terminal.
