"Any booking made before the 31st March 2006. Will be honoured as 2x32kg per person"
shellbell said:Just rang VA about the baggage decrease...
and was told:
Made sure they put it on our notes and account!
This time we are gonna make sure we use our 64kg each!!!
Might even buy some scales from Winn Dixies
Also asked about the sneaky extra fuel surcharge they are trying to add on. This is for only new bookings.
Obi Wan Kenobi said:Why use the 64KG? just for the hell of it? Are you the type then that goes to an all you can eat and eats till they are sick 'cause its your "entitlement"?
As for the "sneaky" fuel surcharge, it has always been added to bookings made after a date for all airlines. Virgin have let it be know in advance, very sneaky that!

kristieuk said:I think I have said before on this thread, people are different, and have different needs and expectations, and what to take abroad is no exception. The issue here is whether Virgin should honour the expectations of passengers who booked in good faith - it seems they will.
I really don't think it's for others to criticise or question why people want to use their full luggage allowance - it's a personal choice based on personal need. The poster who wants to carry out extra clothes to leave behind is one example, we are getting married and need to carry out all of our wedding clothes, cruise clothes, wedding stationery, favours etc....We're flying with BA, and I would be very cross if the goalposts moved now when we booked months and months ago.
Good luck everyone flying Virgin - I hope it all works out ok
