Virgin Flight time change again…

[MJ6987]

Yeah, ours had changed for January (same flight)…not only that but our booking had been cleared. I only happened to go in and try and check the flight, hadn’t had an email or anything. When I called up and got through (after two hours on hold) they said “oh, there’s no flights against that booking reference” - luckily there was still space on the flight so they were able to add us back on, otherwise they said we would have had to go on another day or be refunded

Thanks for this like everyone else this was the only notification i have had ! , our flights have also changed for 19/02, flying out an hour and 10 mins earlier and coming back 45 mins earlier. No notification at all, frustrating when booking long stay and have to keep messing around with the times and would not have probably checked until closer before.

Ours was 5pm and then they changed it to 8pm. I really do hope they change it back to 5pm though, that time works so much better with our young kids.

Our return has changed as well, back to the earlier time (Lhr).
Hmm, just booked to keep our room for an extra day so we could check out late afternoon. Had a good deal and it was well worth it. Now we are departing 17.25 again.

Our outbound hasn’t changed. (Yet...)

I’d be happy if they wanted to change us onto the a350

My Virgin flights return time has changed coming back on the 3/12. But another family members who’s travelling with us hasn’t changed. Do they operate only the 1 flight per day ?

I believe they only operate 1 a day. Maybe theirs will change shortly.

I’m confused how they’ll clean and get the plane ready when the one from LHR- MCO lands an hour earlier than we are due to depart… boarding usually starts an hour before take-off, let alone time to clean the plane.

I guess it’s wait and see

Usually the plane from Manchester will go back to Heathrow and the Heathrow one to Manchester. That’s how they rotate the aircraft and sometimes crew as well.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks 😊

Ours have also changed, again, possibly 5th or 6th change, just the return this time and an hour later.
I would just be checking you seats as we discovered they had changed the plane on one of our original changes and our seats no longer existed.

I also asked this once when chatting to cabin crew whilst waiting to board, and the plane we were going out on had come in from Vegas, I (wrongly) assumed it would be just a turnaround from Orlando.
