Hi All
I know Jan 16 is a long way off.......
Got a text from VAA to say " We're sorry to advise that the VS601 25th Jan is cancelled and you have been rebooked on the VS 601 on the 24th Jan".
I know this happens from time to time and we have been given tons of notice - but it really messes up any onward connecting stuff (hotels / other flights etc etc ).
Anyone have any idea why - aircraft shortage / low loads?
Cheers

So sorry to hear this. I wonder if airlines realise how people' s plans /holidays can be wrecked /mucked up by this one action.
Do hope it all works out for you.

It will be because of low loads. Hope you manage to get everything sorted. At least you'll be in the 787

You are of course entitled to a full refund. Have you looked at booking on another carrier instead on your preferred dates?

Am burning some miles (only PE was available, no UC)......so not really worth a refund i'm afraid!

This happened to the VS601 flight I was booked on for December 24. It became quite a hassle getting everything sorted out since it was an award flight booked with Delta miles and I've got to get from New York to London first. After a number for phone calls to both Delta and Virgin I've ended up moving the whole trip a day earlier--which is when I actually wanted to book initially, but there was no award seat availability!
It does make me wonder how often they're canceling VS601.
