Virgin Atlantic cancelled flight — refund and compensation rules

Depending on the circumstances of your Virgin Atlantic flight's cancellation, you may be entitled to a ticket refund, compensation of up to £520, or both.

 

When can I claim Virgin Atlantic cancelled flight compensation?

To be eligible for flight compensation for a cancelled Virgin Atlantic flight:
 

  • the airline must have announced the cancellation less than 14 days before the scheduled departure date,

         AND

  • the airline must have been responsible for the cancellation (for more information, see the "Extraordinary Circumstances" section of this article).

 

When can I claim Virgin Atlantic cancelled flight refund?

If your flight was cancelled and you did not take the airline's substitute flight, you may be entitled to a Virgin Atlantic cancelled flight refund.

It is also worth noting that you are entitled to a ticket refund if you were not offered an alternative flight at all.

 

cancelled flight compensation rules

 

Virgin Atlantic is offering me a travel voucher instead of a refund — should I accept it?

 

We generally advise against accepting a travel voucher.

This is because accepting a travel voucher requires flying with the same airline again in the future. In addition, most airlines have a time limit for redeeming a voucher.

Furthermore, if the airline goes bankrupt, you may have difficulty converting your voucher into a monetary refund — in other words, you will lose your money. 

Do you have a voucher for Virgin Atlantic? You might still be able to get a monetary refund.

 

Extraordinary circumstances — can Virgin Atlantic deny me compensation?

We refer to extraordinary circumstances as situations in which the airline is not responsible for your flight's delay or cancellation.

If any of the following conditions apply to your Virgin Atlantic flight delay or cancellation (this is not an exhaustive list), you may be ineligible for Virgin Atlantic flight compensation:
 

  • Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

  • A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

    However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

  • Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

  • Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

  • A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

  • An ill or unruly passenger.

  • Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

 

Be cautious: the airline may falsely claim that the delay or cancellation was caused by an extraordinary circumstance! When this occurs, we recommend that you double-check the information.

You can also file a claim with Flight-Delayed.co.uk — regardless of what the airline says, our team of experts will investigate your claim and notify you if you qualify for flight compensation. We only work on a 'no win, no fee' basis for your convenience.
