Booking tips for Virgin Atlantic
Compare fare classes carefully
Virgin Atlantic offers multiple fare tiers. The cheapest class may restrict changes and exclude checked baggage — compare the all-in price before purchasing.
Book long-haul 3–6 months out
Long-haul Economy sale fares sell fast. Set a price alert and move quickly when deals appear — the best fares are typically 3–6 months before departure.
Use miles for upgrades
Virgin Atlantic's frequent flyer programme offers excellent value for upgrades. Earn miles on Economy fares and redeem them for a premium cabin on long-haul routes.
Route via LHR
Connecting via Virgin Atlantic's hub at LHR can open up cheaper itineraries — especially when direct fares from your home airport are expensive or unavailable.
