Virgin Atlantic to introduce credit card fees

From 10 April 2012 Virgin Atlantic will be introducing a GBP4.50 fee for any Economy booking issued on a VS 932 ticket validation where the form of payment is a credit or charge card.

This fee applies when a ticket is issued with a credit card using the Virgin Atlantic merchant ID. Travel wholly in the Premium Economy and Upper Class cabins will not attract the charge. Cash bookings, or payments using your merchant ID are exempt from this payment.

Debit card payments are exempt.

Flights which involve travel on an interline or codeshare journey with an eligible Economy designated fare will incur the payment fee.

The charge applies to prime ticket issue only and not to any subsequent reissue or revalidation.

The payment fee is non-refundable and will apply to bookings made in the UK through any agent (including online agents).
