How to Make a Complaint to Virgin Atlantic
Dealing with a problem with your flight is not anyone's idea of a relaxing holiday, but things happen from time to time. If Virgin Atlantic cancels or significantly delays your flight, loses your baggage, does not have an upgrade you already paid for available, or forces you to deal with an exceptionally rude or incompetent team member, you have several options for getting in touch with the airline to solve the problem or, if needed, file a formal complaint. You may contact Virgin Atlantic:

If these attempts to solve the problem you are experiencing have not worked, you may file a formal complaint with Virgin Atlantic online or by post. You will need to include several details about your reservation and issue, including:

- Your booking reference
- Your flight number and the scheduled date of your flight
- Your email address, postal address, or phone number
- A detailed description of the issue you experienced
Submitting your complaint online tends to result in a faster response, but sending a paper copy in the post allows you to keep a copy for future reference. If you choose to post your complaint, you will need to send it to:

Alternative Ways to File a Complaint Against Virgin Atlantic
Getting in touch with Virgin Atlantic directly should be your first step in attempting to resolve a problem with the airline, but you have other options if Virgin Atlantic fails to respond to your complaint or does not resolve it acceptably. Some of the most common options to try if attempting to resolve your issue with Virgin Atlantic directly include Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) Schemes, an ombudsman, or a small claims court.
ADR Schemes
An alternative dispute resolution, or ADR, is a common method of attempting to find a solution that is acceptable to both parties without taking the issue to court. This option, which is particularly popular in the UK, utilises a neutral third party to mediate or arbitrate communication between you and the company you are having a problem with to find the most reasonable solution without having to take action.
An Ombudsman
An ombudsman specialises in handling complaints against companies, particularly issues in which the company has failed to respond appropriately. This individual will investigate both sides of your complaint to attempt to find an acceptable solution, but this is only an option if you have not yet taken Virgin Atlantic to court.
Small Claims Court
Depending on the nature of your problem, you may be able to send demand letters to Virgin Atlantic in small claims court. This may be an option if the airline has not provided a refund within a reasonable amount of time after not being able to provide a service you paid for, cancelling your flight when you were unable to take a later one, or not reimbursing you for a hotel they were supposed to cover or other financial disputes valued at up to £10,000.
Get Any Customer Service Issue Resolved With DoNotPay

We can get in touch with Virgin Atlantic on your behalf to remind them of their responsibilities as a reputable company when it comes to creating the best possible experience for their customers.
