How can I cancel a flight with Virgin Atlantic?

Read the ticket conditions before cancelling: Virgin Atlantic distinguishes fully refundable, partly refundable and non-refundable tickets, and treats wholly unused and partly used travel differently. A cancellation fee can reduce eligible value, while a non-refundable ticket may still have refundable taxes or charges.

What to do next

  1. Step 1

    Confirm the seller, ticket issuer and whether the request is an ordinary voluntary cancellation.

  2. Step 2

    Classify the fare as fully refundable, partly refundable or non-refundable from the ticket conditions.

  3. Step 3

    Establish whether no travel or part of the itinerary has already been used.

  4. Step 4

    Review the calculation for eligible fare value, any cancellation fee and separately refundable taxes or charges.

  5. Step 5

    If a legal right or documented personal circumstance may apply, use that distinct path rather than treating it as an ordinary fare refund.
