Mobile Virgin Atlantic Oct flights

Has anyone had any luck yet moving or doing anything with their Oct 2020 flights?

The website says only flights up to 30th Sep 2020 are currently covered for rebooking or converting to open tickets, but just wondering if anyone has been able to sort them out already.

They've updated their website to include flight changes for bookings up to June 2021. I asked the same question this morning then realised they'd updated the site.



flywith.virginatlantic/g...r-changed.html



My parents also need to change their October flights to next year. It says about paying for potential fare increases but the dates they may move to are actually cheaper so don't know where they'd stand with a refund of the difference.

I'm confused, the page still says 30th September? I booked last year so wouldn't be covered under the post-covid booking policy.

When you click “when you’re ready to rebook...” on the link above it lists travel dates without all the stuff about having booked after March 2020.

We’re the same as OP. Booked last November, flying Oct 2nd. We have no option at the moment. Would like to move or get a voucher. But we fall between the options Virgin have stated on their website.

This was exactly the problem I had with our flights from Glasgow. Was initially told I could amend to an open ticket for £150 pp (there are 6 of us), then told no charge. Flights didn't meet criteria on their website. Now flight cancelled have gone for a refund. As still going round in circles filled in online form with cc company for chargeback.

I have read of someone who had flights booked last year for this October and they have been allowed to change free of charge.

Snap! Also booked UC in November and too much money for us to lose. If we can reschedule will either aim for Feb 21 (less likely) or Feb 2022 (more likely)
