Well Done Virgin
Credit where credits due.
We were due to fly in Sept with Virgin and we have like many stayed positive and on a daily basis wondered if it would happen. This trip is our 7th and our sons 6th trip, but it will be their girlfriends first trips and We want it to be “normal” I used WhatsApp on Sunday to contact Virgin, they called me back and I said to the lady that I know you are busy helping people that should be going now, but she was happy to chat to me. She said that the new booking was not showing Heathrow yet so to leave it a couple of days and she would email me. I kept a check on it too and today I could choose the new flights. I emailed her and she checked everything before she called me and we got it sorted. We had our family package holiday booked before Christmas but we then made a separate booking for a fly drive for our sons girlfriends so the could join us ( this was the cheapest option they were never going to use the car). She added them to our booking, amended the dates and transferred their deposit into our booking. It updated in the app and we managed to go online and book the seats there and then. So pleased with their service. There was no admin fee. Well done Virgin, top marks on this occasion for me.

Wow! How did you get a response so quickly? I’m waiting for a reply to my Whatsapp message from a week ago and my brother messaged them a month ago and has still not had a response.

I got the usual we are only replying to people due to travel in the next 72 hours blurb, then I just replied again to that message with a question and they called me.

Virgin will respond and help where you are now technically able to claim a full refund (as here I assume original flights were from Gatwick and thus cancelled, OP is entitled to get a refund within 7 days) as the staff have probably been told anyone who is at risk of cancelling, get them rebooked. Remember Virgin have no staff apparently to process refunds en mass at the moment, but people are managing to speak to them in these kind of situations.
I would agree with one thing- I have always found Virgin staff themselves to be excellent and aside from the competition side of things, I really hope Virgin survives for the staff.
