Sitting still for an entire flight can be difficult even as adults, but when you’re flying with children the pressure’s really on to keep them occupied.

Flying with kids on Virgin Atlantic involves just one thing: fun. Our dedicated TV channels, a backpack full of goodies, video games to play and food that they’ll actually love (because we all know how picky kids can be) means that you won’t hear a peep out of them all flight long.

Flying with children, seeing the adventure through their eyes can be really rewarding – and we’ll do everything we can to help you enjoy every minute on board as a family.

If they’ve got their own seat, they’ve got their own seatback TV and on most of our aircraft that means dedicated kids channels. V.Tots (for pre-school), V.KiD (for 5-11 year olds) and V.T (for teens).

The V.KiD channel includes a blockbuster movie and on most flights, we offer up to 35 Nintendo games.

If you are concerned about any of the content, we now have a 'parental block' system on most of our aircraft. Just ask one of the cabin crew next time you fly.

All children leaving the UK get a really cool backpack, the Virgin Atlantic K-iD pack, packed with things to keep and sure to make them the envy of their friends.

When it comes to mealtimes we’ve come up with a menu just for our younger passengers that includes all of their favourite things like fish fingers, pizza and chocolate, so don’t forget to pre-order.

If you are flying with us soon and have your tickets to hand, you can request a child meal online now. Please note meal requests must be made at least 72 hours before travel.
