Virgin luggage

VIRGIN ATLANTIC is the latest airline to redefine its luggage offerings to passengers.  In fact for the vast majority the new rules will not make much difference.  From 25 November the long haul only carrier is introducing a “piece system” across its network for all tickets booked after that date.  In very simple terms Economy passengers can check-in one bag, Premium Economy two and Upper Class three, with a 23kg weight limit on each item.  If you can disguise your second bag as sporting equipment that also goes for free, again up to 23kg and this includes such items as a golf bag, scuba diving equipment, or ski equipment.  Virgin Atlantic is the only UK-based long haul airline enabling passengers to check-in surfboards.  In addition, Flying Club Gold Card holders are entitled to take one additional bag on top of their free allowance in any cabin.  Extra bags cost £32/US$48 and if you are over the allowance the charge is £30 up to a maximum of 32kgs. www.virgin-atlantic.com
