Virgin Atlantic details differences in economy class fare offerings

In response to varying customer needs and budgets within economy class travel options, Virgin Atlantic provides Economy Light, Economy Classic, and Economy Delight fares. All fare types include complimentary meals and entertainment but differ in baggage allowances and seat selection options.

Economy Light is the most basic offering with no checked baggage included but allows passengers to purchase additional luggage space. "One hand luggage (maximum weight 22 pounds / ten kilograms)" is permitted along with standard seat selection at check-in.

Economy Classic includes one free checked bag weighing up to 50 pounds/23 kilograms and eligibility for upgrades using Virgin Points. It offers similar amenities as Economy Light but adds more flexibility for travelers who need checked baggage.

Economy Delight provides extra legroom with a seat pitch of 34 inches along with premium check-in services and priority boarding. Passengers earn more Virgin Points compared to other economy fares.

Additional services such as WiFi are available on flights starting from GBP 2.99 ($3.83), although availability varies depending on aircraft type.

Virgin Atlantic's website also features codeshare services offered by Delta Air Lines between the United States and United Kingdom; however, onboard offerings may differ from those provided directly by Virgin Atlantic.
