Mobile LGW to LHR - Virgin Atlantic

Has anyone’s flights been changed from LGW to LHR and you have tried to cancel on grounds of it being a significant change? I can’t find any threads about this and I am trying to work out our options for October. We are on a group VA flight only booking and some members of the party have never been to Orlando so I think we will be trying to cancel as Disney will not be the magical experience for them. Any advice please? Thanks.

Our flight is due on the 28th August - 11th Sept and the booking still says LGW - MCO on the 747 so no changes as yet for us

Our late Oct LGW flight switched to LHR last weekend. They actually did a good job and kept us updated by E Mail.

OP. I suspect this a material change and you can refuse it but only when it has been moved and not before.
That's only my view mind so don't take it as gospel.

Thanks for the update! I’m sure yours would change before ours so they must still be working on other dates.

Thanks Tom. Did you get a phone call as well? Or just email?

Yes we are having a family chat on Sunday to decide what we all want to do, but just seeing what has happened for others! Thanks for help.

No just an E Mail.

For the Aug/Sept flight we are still showing showing as LGW

The March one I booked recently again just switched automatically to LHR and we had an E Mail for that as well.

Ah thank you so much, I had tried every search combo … or so I thought! Knew there would be one.

Ours for the 6th/25th August still showing as LGW. Would be interested to know if this counts as a major change. I'm sure I read somewhere on here that Virgin do not class a change from one london airport to another as a major change, but have spent ages looking and cant re-find where I read it.

Would like to think it does as we want to cancel our holiday, but at the moment would loose about 3k , so am stuck in limbo
