When you’re ready to rebook, we’re here for you
We understand that the ever-changing travel restrictions may make you unsure about what date to change your ticket to, so we’ve got this covered. You may even decide to change your destination, and that’s ok too.
If you're unsure of your new travel dates, we’ll keep your ticket open until you’re ready to rebook.
You'll just need to make sure you rebook and travel by the 30th April 2021. There's no charge to do this but your new flights will be subject to availability and any fare difference.
This process is for only for bookings made directly with Virgin Atlantic. If you’ve booked through Virgin Holidays, or through another website or travel agent, please contact them for your options.
Once we receive and action your request, we’ll update your booking and send you confirmation. Please don’t worry if it takes a few days to get back to you, just keep your booking reference safe.
