Virgin Holidays

I went with Virgin Holidays to Mauritius in April this year and as far as travel is concerned I have no issues whatsoever. The legroom in the economy seat was decent; the food was just as good as those served by BA and I have found Virgin staff to be more attentive than BA staff. However, be careful when you book with Virgin Holidays. If you are a Virgin Atlantic Flying Club member, you qualify for 10% discount with Virgin Holidays. I was never ...
...to this I called up Virgin Holidays and they have agreed to a refund. As far as I'm concerned this is unacceptable practice as they are cheating the customers. I even told the call centre staff that I am a Flying Club member but she did nothing. So please do raise this if you do decide to travel with Virgin. Also, if anyone can share any insight as to whether Virgin Holidays combines the online 5% discount with the Flying Club 10% discount that ...

Review of Virgin Holidays

...had no alternative!), I called Virgin and they pre-booked my meal and I also explained to them that I have a serious problem with anxiety and when around a lot of people I have had panic attacks, the man on the phone was wonderful and really understood he said if I got written proof from my doctor they would upgrade me to premium economy for only £50 each as this had more space and less people. True to their word, that is what they did. Throughout ...

Review of Virgin Holidays

...have booked a holiday with Virgin Holidays. Yes, they can be more expensive than other holiday groups but the reason we have gone back to them again is - the staff are always very helpful. We booked our holiday to Orlando last year, we received a 10% discount for doing it on-line. Then a few months later Virgin were offering free child places (a saving for us of £559). We contacted Virgin and they refunded the cost of the childs place (we had to ...
...went to America with Virgin the flight of 6 hours literally flew in! The seats on the plane are more spacious than any others I have used before, the tv in the seat in front makes the journey easier, the food served was better than food served in some resturants that I have been to. The staff made sure that everyone one the plane not only were comfortable but were also enjoying the flight. A highlight for me was the male and female cabin crew swapping ...

Review of Virgin Holidays

I have recently travelled with Virgin Blue in Australia. Even though the airfares are a lot less you know you are paying cheap rates when everything on flight is for sale…… We had to pay for food, drink, headphones, TV (in-flight entertainment). Sure you expect to have some of your services from a normal priced flight cut but not everything….in fact the other airlines were the same price after paying for a drink, something to eat and in-flight entertainment. Next time I would just go with one of the more conventional airlines ...
