It depends on if you have a transferable ticket or not. Call virgin ans they will let you know. Most discount economy tickets are non transferable.

Agree with Florida4sun, totally depends on the tickets.

Not all airlines will. AS already stated many tickets state they are non transferable. A call to virgin is in order.

We flew with Virgin in 2001 and wanted to change the name on a ticket as one of my sons friends changed his mind and he asked another friend.

Virgin said they could not do it and in fact I would lose the ticket altogether. I had to get VERY VERY stroppy and in the end they agreed to do it. This was 8 months before we were due to fly.

We bought some tickets with virgin last june for travel in jan 05, in november because one of my nepthews got grounded he wasnt allowed to go so we took his older brother, we just went to the travel agent and they called virgin (took ages on the phone they moved the virgin call centre to india) changed the details, think it cost £25 to change the details, but the best part the ticket details we changed were for a 9 year old child, the one we changed it too was for a 14 year old. The travel agent said we would have too pay the difference in child to adult ticket price but virgin didnt want any more money so we were more than happy.

Emma,

If you have booked your vacation through an agent that is using Virgin flights (such as Virgin Holidays), then depending on how far in advance you are travelling they will change it for a fee.

If you have booked flights only via Virgin Atlantic then unless you have a fully flexible ticket no such changes are allowed.

Hope that helps.

Matt
