Sitting in one place for even a short amount of time can be a challenge for any child, but we aim to banish boredom with our kids backpack K-iD, and on their seatback TV. We've even developed a menu especially for children packed with all of their favourite things.

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.
