Virgin Atlantic falls under UK261 — the UK's retained version of EU261 — on all departures from the UK and on arrivals into the UK. A 3-hour arrival delay, a short-notice cancellation, or denied boarding triggers fixed cash compensation, with claims enforceable for up to 6 years in England and Wales.
| Flights up to 1,500 km | £220 |
| Flights 1,500 – 3,500 km | £350 |
| Flights over 3,500 km | £520 |
Per passenger. On flights over 3,500 km delayed 3–4 hours, the amount is halved to £260.
If Virgin Atlantic stalls or rejects, we escalate through the CAA-approved alternative dispute resolution scheme and, where a claim justifies it, refer it to specialist solicitors — with no increase in your fee.
