Virgin Atlantic allows passengers to check in online starting 24 hours before departure and up to 70 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Online check-in is the fastest and simplest way to complete your check-in process. During online check-in, you can view and change your seat, add baggage, and provide Advance Passenger Information (API). You can also print or download your boarding pass to your smartphone. If you prefer, you can check in using the Virgin Atlantic mobile app, which offers the same features and convenience. For passengers traveling between Caribbean islands on Virgin Atlantic's inter-island services, online check-in is not available, and you will need to check in at the airport. For flights from Barbados to St. Vincent and Grenada, check-in will be available from 2 hours before departure, and for flights from Grenada and St. Vincent to Barbados, check-in will be available from 4 hours before departure. At the airport, Virgin Atlantic's check-in desks close 60 minutes before departure, and self-service kiosks are available at select airports to check in, select seats, and print boarding passes. If you have checked in online, you can drop off your baggage at the bag drop desks, which close 60 minutes before departure. It is recommended to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before departure for domestic flights and 3 hours before departure for international flights to allow sufficient time for check-in, baggage drop, security checks, and other pre-flight procedures. Please note that check-in times may vary by airport, so it is advisable to check the airport guide for your departure airport. Additionally, Virgin Atlantic no longer accepts cash payments at the airport, so please bring an alternative form of payment for any additional charges or fees that may apply. If you need special assistance, it is recommended to inform Virgin Atlantic staff of your needs to ensure proper arrangements are made. By checking in early and following the recommended timelines, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free start to your journey with Virgin Atlantic.
