Frequently asked questions

What is the Virgin Atlantic checked bag weight limit?

Virgin Atlantic’s own page gives 23 kg (50.7 lb) for a standard checked bag. At least one 23 kg bag free unless flying Economy Light. Weigh the packed bag at home: a luggage scale costs less than a single overweight fee at most airlines.

What happens if my Virgin Atlantic bag is overweight?

Virgin Atlantic charges an overweight fee above the standard limit; the amount was not confirmed from its page for this site, so check the airline. Moving a few pounds into your carry-on is usually the cheapest fix.

Researched, not professional advice. Fees change often and differ by route, fare and status; check the airline before you fly.
