Virgin Atlantic baggage policy
Virgin Atlantic typically includes one personal item on all fares; carry-on and checked allowances depend on your fare family and route. On international itineraries from the US, most standard fares include at least one checked bag, while basic fares may include none. Prepaying bags at ticketing is nearly always cheaper than paying at the airport, and our agents add baggage at the lowest published rate when they issue your ticket. See our extra baggage service for details.
Virgin Atlantic cancellation policy
For tickets sold in the US, Virgin Atlantic follows the 24-hour rule: cancel within 24 hours of booking (for travel 7+ days away) and receive a full refund. Beyond that window, refundability depends on your fare — flexible fares refund to your original payment, while restricted fares typically convert to travel credit, sometimes minus a fee. Need help right now? Our cancellation desk reviews your ticket free of charge.
Virgin Atlantic date change policy
Virgin Atlantic allows date changes on most fares, with any fare difference applied at rebooking. Many standard economy and premium fares now change without a fee; the most restricted fares may not be changeable at all. If Virgin Atlantic adjusts your schedule significantly first, you can usually rebook free under a waiver. More on our date change service.
