Explore Virgin Atlantic Flight Delay Compensation is generally clear and customer-friendly. EU Regulation 261/2004 grants passengers compensation for delays exceeding three hours, the amount of which varies depending on the flight distance. The airline also offers assistance such as meals, accommodation, and rebooking during significant delays. However, compensation may not be awarded in cases of delays due to extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather. On the whole, Virgin Atlantic's claims process is straightforward, though response times can vary.
