VH Covid policies?

Looking at a VH fly drive at Christmas. The option to change the booking only seems to apply to booking for travel up to the end of August 2021. Can't find any info on holidays travelling after August 2021 so not sure whether its safe to book if there are not options to change without charge

Obviously it cant be guaranteed but as BA have changed their policy in the last few days I'm sure if they have any sense VH wont be to far behind, give them a week or two.

Surprised they've not moved the date already as BA are being quite generous with their dates. VH fly drive is that bit cheaper as we don't have to pay for seats, which we always do to guarantee sitting together. Was hoping to book in the next few days before all the sales end

Just looked at BA policy and hols booked before March 20 can only be changed free upto Feb 21! Its hols booked after March 20 with travel upto 22 can be changed free.

BA Business Model allow them to offer this easier than Virgin.
As they have lots of Domestic operations and short haul destinations.
They have been flying and at least generating some revenue, while VA and VH have been grounded.
This MAY be the reason for the Virgin delay in offering similar.

Trying to figure out how to add their 10% code to the booking, nowhere to put it!

It's at the bottom of the "who's going?" page where you enter your name, etc if that helps

VA have been flying cargo flights and are still flying to some destinations, just not MCO
