Virgin flights time changed

[Itsabunthing]

For those whose flights from Manchester have changed were they originally at 10.30? We're on the 12.45 so guessing it's not going to change.

Yes the 10.30 changed to the 10.05

My glasgow flight on 22/6 has been changed from 1200 to 1340 and of course they havent even told us! We were booked with VH

When we booked the flight was 11am then virgin changed it to 10.30 from manchester and we have now been moved to the 12.45 flight

Booked via Expedia and they sent me an email saying return flight is now ten minutes earlier...

Why is anyone surprised that flight times change? It happens all the time. What would be remarkable if an aircraft actually departed at the time stated when the flights were first released 11 months before. It almost never happens. The times are not set in concrete - they do tell you to check. Most of the posters are not going for months yet - plenty of time for further updates.
Airlines have to fit in with Air Traffic Control and the availability of slots through all the areas being flown. They have to fit in with availability of facilities at both airports, and any development work taking place there. This means coordinating with other flights requiring the same facilities. Then they have to coordinate with their own flights to ensure everything is in the right place at the right time. Virgin has had more problems this year due to the engine problems with their 787s, involving lots of rejigging of their plans. If certain flights are not selling well, so are uneconomic to operate, then they might merge/cancel flights. On the day, there can be delays due to weather, technical issues, strikes etc. It is complex.
The earlier you book, the more likely it is that something will change before you go - you need to bear that in mind.

I've just double checked mine as it is the later flight from Manchester and there is no change but the earlier one that day has changed to 10:05

We fly April 27th from lgw to mco and virgin adjusted my flight time 15 minutes earlier. They didn’t email me, but did email my mother who was also on the booking and she forwarded it to me. Seems like a rather weird change for the sake of 15 mins

Vs75 from manc ,surely has been 11am for ages,or does it swap to 10.30am on certain days?, bondy.

I checked mine yesterday, lucky I did, no email or anything to let me know it's only 25 minutes, but they could have let us know
We are on the Vs 75 from Manchester should have been 10.30 is not 10.05
