Virgin 2021 cancellation thread

[stanleycamel]

I have decided that the time has thankfully come at last to close this thread as flights are starting to ramp up and we are now at the stage where DIBB members can find out for themselves about their upcoming flights.



For those on the Dibb who have supported the efforts to keep this thread up to date I thank you all.

AND BYE BYE . . .

Revised timetable now scheduled as from 6th August.

This thread has been started to clarify the position for any Virgin Atlantic passengers as there didn't seem to be a dedicated thread. Please feel free to add your own post about any cancellations you may have received.

So sorry for everyone affected.

Has anyone actually had a cancellation confirmation? Or is this just flights no longer on sale for these dates?

I know that's the initial stage and the next step is usually cancellations, but just wondering if anyone has got the email yet.

We fly 10th August so still just holding on, but never dreamed we could be the trail blazers! I was so hopeful people would get there in July. This feels the start of a write off for the summer holidays and just when I was feeling positive today!

We fly 30th July. On the app our flights are still showing as booked. We haven't received a cancellation mail. Though it looks like we can no longer book flights for our dates.

Not sure what this means but thought I would post this in case it helps.

Same here. Just booked on Wednesday after Aer Lingus for 1st. I've requested refund on WhatsApp and currently on phone.

Update:
Just off phone and refund issued. She couldn't find the flight on the system so issued the refund straight away. Better service then I had with them the first time round at the start of this pandemic.

Spoke to Aer Lingus Thursday, they processed my refund and stated 5 to 7 days to get money back on card. Just come off the phone with Virgin, said my flight still showing on their system but was able to confirm that it was going to be cancelled! Just bumped me forward one day. So try again for us - till next cancellation!
