Fare Locker

The Fare Locker aims to offer potential Virgin Atlantic customers the opportunity to hold the price and availability (fare, fuel surcharges, and taxes) of a booking for up to 7 days. Held bookings can be confirmed via the website or through the Contact Centre.

1. Purchase must be made at least 72 hours prior to date of departure. Fare Locker must be purchased through the Contact Centre.
2. Fare Locker is available only on flights operated by Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd. Fare Locker may not be available on all Virgin Atlantic fare classes and may be restricted by Virgin Atlantic in its sole discretion.
3. The Fare Locker holds the Fare and Fuel Surcharge only.
4. Fare Locker does not hold the availability or price of any ancillary product (including seating or airport products), which must be purchased after ticketing.
5. Duration of the Fare Lock is the shorter of 7 days or to the last ticket date set by the ticketing time limit in the fare rules (which decreases as the departure date approaches)
6. Fare Locker is available on a per Booking basis only.
a. Fare Locker will be applied for all passengers on a booking; if additional passengers wish to be added after the booking is created, the additional passengers will be on a separate booking with pricing based on current fares and availability.
7. Price is per person on the booking. Infants travelling without a seat are exempt from Fare Locker fees, provided the other passengers on the booking purchase the Fare Locker
8. The purchase of Fare Locker is not confirmed until an e-mail detailing payment and authorisation has been issued by Virgin Atlantic. This can take up to 48 hours after initialising the held booking.
a. Should your payment be declined or fail, an email will instruct you to call Virgin Atlantic’s Contact Centre back to re-confirm your payment details, failure to call will result in your held booking being cancelled
