Virgin Atlantic Checked Baggage Weight Limits Passengers on 'Economy Classic/Delight' fares may check in one piece of hold luggage weighing no more than 23 kg/ 50 lbs. Passengers in 'Premium Economy' can check two bags weighing 23 kg/50 lbs each.

For 2026 travelers, the Virgin Atlantic Economy Delight weight limit for a single checked bag is 23 kg (50 lbs). This ticket tier is the most flexible of the Economy options, providing one piece of checked luggage as standard, whereas "Economy Light" includes no checked bags. In addition to the hold luggage, Economy Delight passengers are permitted one piece of hand luggage weighing up to 10 kg, plus one small personal item (like a handbag or laptop bag) that must fit under the seat. The dimensions for your checked bag must not exceed 90 x 75 x 43 cm. A high-value "pro-tip" for 2026 is that if you are a Flying Club Gold member, you are entitled to an additional checked bag of 23 kg for free on any Virgin-operated flight, regardless of your fare class. If your bag exceeds the 23 kg limit, you will face an overweight fee of roughly £65, and any single bag over 32 kg will not be accepted at all due to airport health and safety regulations for baggage handlers.
