Virgin Atlantic Checked Luggage
Again the checked baggage allowances on a Virgin Atlantic flight will vary, depending on the ticket type. Sports equipment can usually be carried in addition to checked baggage, provided it is under 23kg. However, it is always best to check with Virgin Atlantic ahead of travelling.
Gold members of Flying Club can check in an extra piece of luggage on all Virgin Atlantic operated flights for no extra charge (weighing up to 23kg). This can be done online or at the airports.

Virgin Atlantic Extra Baggage
If you need to add more baggage to your flight, you can do so. Passengers can bring up to 10 pieces of luggage, weighing up to 23kg each. The best way to add extra baggage is to book online, as doing so at the airport can be considerably more expensive.
Overweight or oversized bags charges differ, depending on the number of bags you are bringing as well as the ticket type you have purchased.
32 kg is the maximum weight allowance for any bag.
