Prologue:
Welcome to the start of my very much anticipated summer vacation. I will be flying AF to Lisbon which will help me achieve Silver status right after this trip.I was able to access the Virgin Clubhouse because it is managed by Premium Plaza since the end of last year and they have an agreement with AMEX.

This lounge is perhaps the best in SFO and the staff was cordial and welcoming as usual. One negative point is the weak Wifi connection. At times it's impossible to connect at all.

There are 3 individual WC's and 2 of them used to have showers when VS managed this lounge. Now these WC's don't seem to offer the shower amenity.

At the dining tables you can scan the QR code and it opens a menu to order online. There are also printed menus for those who are more technologically challenged.

Here's the new menu for Summer.

========== Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse ==========
Summary:
Right after this trip AF sent me an email congratulating me for my Silver status. That was quick.The lounge experience at VS Clubhouse was fantastic in terms of food and drink. Not so great if you plan to connect to the internet.
AF is a solid carrier and crew was friendly and efficient. There are things that AF excels like providing champagne to all pax and offering decent actual pillows in Y. The first meal and snacks were solid but the breakfast before arrival was a big let down. There could be an effort to offer more protein instead of sugar and carbs.
Overall I enjoyed my experience with AF and will definitely fly with them again.
