How can I change a connecting or return flight with Virgin Atlantic?
A return flight is not automatically independent of the outbound ticket. Give Virgin Atlantic or the authorized agent the complete ticket and identify the exact leg you want to replace. Explain whether travel has started and which flights must remain unchanged. Date, route and sequence changes depend on the fare rules and may require a new price or a change fee. For a connection, ask for an itinerary that includes the incoming and onward flights together; do not assume that moving one departure leaves the rest usable. Review the full replacement, not just the altered line, and obtain the issued confirmation before following the new plan. If the airline has changed the schedule, explain that first so the request is not evaluated solely as a voluntary preference.
