Virgin Atlantic extra bags: choose the purchase channel before paying

Check how many bags you need before purchasing excess baggage. Virgin allows up to seven extra bags per person during online check-in, which opens 24 hours before departure and closes 70 minutes before.

Important unknowns

  • The source does not establish the outcome of an individual request. Confirm current instructions with the airline; the effective date of these provisions is not established.

What to do next

  1. Identify the account

    Airport purchase costs the same; the published airport limit is ten bags per person. This does not establish permission for ten extra bags beyond the included allowance.

  2. Use the official recovery route

    Purchased excess baggage is non-refundable and non-transferable under the stated policy. Avoid buying speculative capacity while the passenger or bag count is unsettled.

  3. Keep your request focused

    Charges apply per flight. The pricing currency follows the country where the journey begins; outside the UK, US, Canada or eurozone, Virgin converts its GBP rate into local currency.

  4. Check the result

    Compare the actual allowance, passenger and flights with the purchase before paying. No individual bag price or unusual-item acceptance is established here.
