How online check-in works
Online check-in opens exactly 24 hours before departure and closes 70 minutes before takeoff. There are no fees for online check-in, and it is the fastest way to secure your boarding pass and seat assignment. You can add up to 7 extra bags during online check-in, or up to 10 bags at the airport counter if needed.
- Visit www.virgin-atlantic.com or use the Virgin Atlantic mobile app 24 hours before departure.
- Enter your booking reference and surname to access your reservation.
- Select your seat and review your baggage allowance and fare details.
- Add any extra baggage allowances if purchasing beyond your included quota.
- Complete check-in and download or receive your boarding pass.
Tip: Check in online as soon as the window opens to secure preferred seating and avoid last-minute queue times at the airport.
