If I am a gold member and my partner is travelling on the same booking as me who doesn’t have status, can they use the gold benefits such as fast track security, upper class wing, etc with me?
Yes, through experience you should be totally fine. Backed up by the table on this page: https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/flying-club/members/membership-tiers.html
Only thing that it says your guest doesn’t get is Arrivals lounge access, and i’ve not tested that…
Note that the Wing is currently in the midst of upgrades to the security scanners, so it is likely disrupted (https://www.headforpoints.com/2024/01/17/ibis-styles-paignton-hotel-opens/).
Officially, your guest does not get access to Revivals and this has been enforced on all but one occasion when I’ve tried. The one occasion where it was not enforced, I was charged £35, but this was likely because my companion was a Wings member in the prior year that there was discretion.
My wife and I flew back from New York in UC last week. As a Gold she was able to pre book some “exclusive” meal options, I as a lowly Silver had a smaller and slightly more down market set of options to choose from.
Seems a bit penny pinching, as we both paid well £2k for our one way ticket back to London.

Huh – how odd. That’s a new one on me!
