    Flying to and across US as a VA WP - past and recent experiences

    So I've recently started flying the transpacific routes again, after a while confined to European trips on Etihad codeshares. I'm guess I'm going to be disappointed by the answer, but have VA caught up with offering inflight internet wifi yet? It's going to be a slow flight work-wise if not :(

    Hi, VA GOLD here flying on EY to Abu Dhabi and I'm in the city with a 22Kg bag waiting for a 9.50 pm flight. I know the check in desk opens at 12 for the earlier 2.50pm flight. What are my chances of them letting me check in for lounge access around 12-1pm? Ekys
