Optional supplements

Optional supplements selected during the booking process may increase the total fare. These are:

  • You may be offered travel insurance during your flight booking.
  • Additional baggage charges may apply. If you’d like to bring extra luggage over and above your free baggage allowance, you can pay online to check in up to seven extra bags per person. Each of the bags can weigh up to a maximum of 32kg with dimensions of up to 90 x 75 x 43cm (35.5 x 29.5 x 16ins). And if that isn't enough then you can purchase up to 10 in total, you'll just need to do this at the airport.
  • If you want to take more than 10 bags with you on your trip, you should contact our friends at Virgin Atlantic Cargo, they’ll be happy to help.
