We’ve been working through refund requests in date order, and I’m pleased to confirm our team are currently processing your request. This means that your payment should be in your account within 14 days. I am still waiting Virgin have been very poor during these difficult times.

Holiday cancelled on 2nd May. Refund was confirmed by email but absolutely no contact since. Customer service contact lines now closed at weekends, complaints process doesn’t offer an option to complain for this reason. We’ve had many holidays with Virgin over the past years and have always been delighted with the service but clearly, when the going gets tough, the leadership team at Virgin just hide. I’m sad to think what this atrocious level of service will do for Virgin after things return to normal (whenever that may be) I certainly will never trust them with my holiday booking or my money again, they’re still holding nearly £6,000 of my hard earned and well needed cash!! Mr Branson, you and your leadership team have let your customers down, you’ve let yourselves down and you’re letting your staff down, get your act together, start stepping up and acting responsibly!!

Awful in every way. No contact throughout the Covid pandemic except an email to cancel my holiday, no refund, no contact through any channel. Avoid like the plague

Terrible service trying to move holiday on phone for 2hours . When i got no1 was told 30 minutes. Then 40 minutes. Then told 30minutes. 1hour later still told 40 minutes. Last holiday with virgin. What about more people on phones to help out . At this rate every will want money and not move holiday. Mr Branson you deserve to lose company. Shame on you.

Holiday cancelled 23rd April for holiday due to depart 9th May .No contact from virgin we are knocking on the door but Richard Branson is hiding behind the sofa obviously doesn't want to refund his honest hard working customers. Be warned don't book a holiday from virgin you will end up regretting it for good customer service look up jet2 this is how it should be done

Flew to barbados on 16th March, despite expecting the holiday to not go ahead. Gatwick was deserted! Two days into holiday, told we were to be repatriate. Then virgin changed their minds twice after that !1 Had to cancel most things booked ( and paid for). Finally told on Saturday afternoon we were being collected art 1.30 next day !! Land line calls to UK to try and find a taxi able to collect us. Fortunately, at the least the hotel staff helped with flight details and e.t.a etc. No help from Virgin. Downgraded on seats coming home. Nobody from Virgin to greet us when we arrived at Gatwick. Virgin have not replied to Maile sent to them, both signed for registered and 2 emails .Shocking company, We are owed £3000 for the outstanding part of the holiday. The hole and staff are superb, and they too were treated appallingly by Virgin.
