Q Where do I find excess baggage charges?
A Please refer to the Baggage section of our website.

Q How should I take a wedding dress on my flight?
A If possible your garments should be packed into a seperate suitcase and marked 'Fragile Wedding Garments'. This will be placed in the hold in the aircraft. Alternatively, your garments can be taken into the cabin as long as they are packed into your hand luggage and fit into the specified weight and dimension requirements. We are unable to hang wedding garments in the Economy and Premium Economy cabins due to the CAA regulations.

Q Can you carry larger items, e.g. helping me to emigrate?
A For more information please contact either our UK Shipping Department on 0844 873 8000 or email virgin.shipping@fly.virgin.com

Q Can you carry my pets?
A Virgin Atlantic are accredited to carry pets under the Government's new Pet Travel Scheme. The PETS scheme only applies to cats, dogs and ferrets and is currently being operated on selected Virgin routes. Please refer to the Pet Travel section of our website.
