Virgin Your Bid accepted: changing the trip can forfeit the upgrade payment

Voluntarily changing or cancelling a flight after paying an accepted Your Bid forfeits the upgrade price, even with a refundable ticket. Applicable taxes return; the upgrade cannot transfer to another flight or passenger.

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

    If Virgin changes/cancels, preservation depends on availability. Original-cabin rebooking refunds the upgrade price. If the flight departs without the upgrade for Virgin-attributable reasons, you may apply for a refund.

  2. Use the official recovery route

    Use the higher baggage allowance only on upgraded sectors. Virgin Points and Tier Points remain based on the original ticket.
