When I booked our flights yesterday, we were talking about the bags policy and was told that Virgin have changed there's and so they have I went on web site to check and as of 25th of November it looks like they are like everyone else and going with the one bag policy (free) others to pay for[msnsad]

Thought that this did not apply to flights already booked before a certain date?

just checked on the Virgin web site and it states "Any passenger booked before 25 November 2009, will be entitled to Virgin Atlantic's existing baggage allowance"

I can confirm the two bag policy stands if you purchased your tickets before 25th November 2009 I spoke to Virgin and they will also honour this on your return journey when ever this maybe.

I was going to mention that if your bag is overwieght then you may as well pay for a 2nd bag online as it's £2 cheaper and you et 23kgs instead of just the 9 for overwieght. We've booked flight for next March so will have to make sure we take everything big over with us.
