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 50 lbs / 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 50 lbs / 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.

My Baggage – Airline Baggage Alternative


Adding extra baggage to a Virgin Atlantic flight can be expensive and therefore considerably increase the overall cost of your journey,

The most cost effective option is to use a luggage shipping service, such as My Baggage. My Baggage is the perfect airline baggage alternative.

Easy, Fast, and Affordable!

Had a smooth, convenient experience at a reasonable price! I was trying to ship home two heavy luggages after studying abroad and the MyBaggage team was friendly and communicative in helping me through the process, making changes to my pick-up, and figuring out customs. The pick-up was seamless and my bags were delivered internationally as promised, 3 days later.
