In addition, where possible we will notify you by sending you a text or e mail message providing you give us your mobile phone number or e mail address at the time you make your booking or via manage my booking.
If you are already at the airport when a flight is cancelled we comply fully with the requirements of the European Union's Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of Denied boarding, flight cancellations and long delays. Passengers who have purchased a 'through ticket' and miss an onward connecting flight because the Virgin Atlantic flight was cancelled or delayed will be rebooked on the next available flight, subject to availability in the same ticket class, without penalty. Where necessary and appropriate overnight accommodation and meals will be provided until the next available flight departs. |
