Virgin Atlantic is a British airline known for its ‘disruptor’ brand personality and high-profile founder, Richard Branson. Since its humble beginnings in 1984, Virgin Atlantic has become one of the largest airlines in Britain, operating a young and modern fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft. A fun twist with the Virgin Atlantic fleet is that the aircraft have all been given names like Wendy Darling, Lucy in the Sky, Eliza Doolittle and Joan Jett to honour iconic women in culture! Virgin Atlantic flights are available to 32 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, North America, Mexico and the Caribbean, and passengers can choose to travel in Economy, Premium or Upper Class. Within Economy Class, travellers can book Virgin Atlantic tickets in Light, Classic or Delight depending on whether they require checked baggage, extra legroom or priority boarding.

While last-minute Virgin Atlantic sale fares may become available, you’ll generally find it pays to plan ahead. Most airlines release tickets around 11 months in advance, and as a rough guide, we recommend booking your flights between six and nine months before you plan to travel. When it comes to balancing airfare availability with the biggest savings, this should give you the best of both worlds!
We know there’s nothing more frustrating than seeing the Virgin Atlantic airfare you just booked go on sale, so consider adding our Captain’s Pack when booking in-store or our Online Captain’s Pack when booking online for Price Drop Protection options and other benefits.
Flying in Economy? Virgin Atlantic tickets will allow you to bring one carry-on bag (23 cm x 36 cm x 56 cm) with a maximum weight of 10kg.
In most cases, Economy Classic or Delight passengers can also bring one checked bag weighing up to 23kg with a maximum linear dimension of 208 cm. The linear dimension of your bag is calculated by adding the height, length and width (including wheels and handles).
Baggage allowances will vary depending on your flight itinerary, ticket class and loyalty program status, so check your tickets to see what’s included with your Virgin Atlantic airfare. Need to add extra baggage to your flight booking? Talk to your Travel Expert before heading to the airport!
