Mobile Virgin quote - bags not included

Hi,
I've found a quote for flights that I am happy with, it's through netflights and flight is Virgin/Delta. It does not include luggage though, I tried to do a dummy booking to see if I could add it on and how much it would be but it didn't give me the option. How would I go about adding bags and any rough ideas on cost?
Many thanks

Virgin have changed how they price their flights and there are 3 options now, details from their site:

The way we fly Economy is changing, and one size doesn’t fit all. When you choose to fly Virgin Atlantic, you'll enjoy all the creature comforts we've become famous for, with more choice and control over the features you layer on top.

Economy Delight means you can speed through the airport by using Premium check in desks, enjoy priority boarding, and get first dibs on overhead storage before settling into your extra legroom seat with 34" seat pitch.

Economy Classic comes with advanced seat assignment included*, so there's no worries about paying extra to get the seats you want, next to the people you want.

And if you're happy to pack less, Economy Light means you still get everything you’d expect on a great flight - but at a price you wouldn’t.

All our new Economy services include delicious food, entertainment and irresistible personal service. Whichever you choose, you can start your journey quickly and easily by checking in online 24 hours before departure.


Based on this, I don't think it is possible to add luggage to the quote you have as I believe this is the Economy Light option and to include luggage you would need the Economy Classic option.

From Virgin site...

Economy baggage allowance
Economy Light bookings are hand baggage only and don't include any checked baggage. If you'd like to check in a bag, you can still buy additional baggage.
Costs here:
virginatlantic/gb/en...l-baggage.html

You'd need to book the tickets then contact virgin to add the bags on

I wonder how you would get Netflights to bring up the classic?

£45 for your first case per leg of journey so £90 return.

Thanks for your replies. Adding baggage is making in way too expensive, back to the drawing board 😫😫

I’m sure you can book luggage later on if you wanted to secure flights now. X
