Virgin Atlantic Pre Select is our inflight meal pre-order service and is available to customers travelling with a confirmed ticket in selected cabins and routes.

Virgin Atlantic Pre Select is available to customers travelling with a confirmed ticket in selected cabins and routes. We'll email you a confirmation message, so if you haven't already provided it, we'll ask for your address when you order.  

The booking window to place your order is between 72 and 24 hours before your flight departure time. 

While we try to fulfil all meal requests, meal choices can't be guaranteed and we reserve the right to change the menu without prior notice.

If you change your flight, departure date or class of cabin, any existing Pre Select request will be cancelled.  If your new flight falls within the 72 to 24 hour booking window prior to departure, we'll send you another email and you can resubmit your selection. 

If we make changes to your flight or departure date we'll try to fulfil your original order, although your meal choice may not be available on your new flight for operational reasons.

Virgin Atlantic Pre Select is separate from our specific dietary meal offering. If you have specific dietary requirements please order through My Booking.

If you've already chosen a dietary meal, you won't be eligible to select a meal from our standard inflight menu unless the dietary meal is removed from your booking.

It is the responsibility of the lead passenger to check and confirm nutritional and allergen information at the time of selecting your meal or selecting meals on behalf of others passengers on the same booking. By ticking the check box you are confirming that the meal selections are suitable for all the passengers in your group, taking into account the allergen information provided.

We reserve the right to make changes and substitute ingredients that may become unavailable due to operational circumstances.  If you have a specific dietary requirement, we recommend you choose a special meal via My Booking

If you have pre-selected a meal and change your mind on board then our crew will make reasonable endeavours to accommodate your meal choice, but they may not be able to fulfil your request for an alternative option.

Our nut and other allergen policy

Virgin Atlantic adheres to Allergen Guidance under European and UK food legislation, which may be different in other jurisdictions. The allergens declared refer to the ingredients only, the food items may contain traces of allergens since they are processed on or with equipment that processes products that may contain allergens.

Our suppliers are based all around the world and not every country has the same legal requirements for providing allergen information. On flights to the UK, allergen labelling on pre-packaged items may not reflect all of the allergens required to be declared in the UK. For passengers flying from the USA, we also adhere to the three additional Nuts listed under US Allergen advisory information.

Peanuts are never knowingly included in any of our meals. However, our meals are not produced in a nut-free environment so may contain traces.

All other nuts may also be served on our flights to other passengers as part of the menu ingredients and/or the snack service, in any cabin. We also can’t stop other passengers from bringing (or eating) their own food onboard, which may include nuts.

In view of the above, we strongly encourage passengers to take all necessary precautions to prepare for the possibility of inadvertent exposure.
