No change fees for travel in March
To give you greater flexibility with your upcoming travel plans, we've introduced a flexible No change fees policy for all bookings made prior to 4th March 2020 for travel during March.
This means that if your plans do need to change, you can switch your flight to a later date with no penalty. Rebooked flights will be subject to availability and any difference in fare.
You can also choose to re-route on a Virgin Atlantic or Virgin Atlantic Codeshare flight to or from your original destination, or rebook to or from another destination.
Travel must be completed on or before 30th September 2020.
This policy applies to all routes in Virgin Atlantic’s international network, including services from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast airports, and tickets booked on our codeshare flights on transatlantic routes with our expanded joint venture partners; Delta, Air France and KLM. Your flight number will begin with the letters "VS".
To change your flight:
○ If you booked direct, please contact our customer center via our SMS messaging system on +44 (0) 7481 339184 (available 24/7) or 97634 from the US. If you are calling us from overseas please visit our contact us page.

Right now the only certainty is that nothing is certain. But I suspect we should all be prepared to change or scrap any travel plans at short notice for the next few months because the situation’s changing daily.

I'm currently AU, with renewal up at the end of April. I'm currently on 960 tier points for the membership year (most trips at the back of the bus), but with business travel all but stopped it's unlikely I'll get the required 40 points before the end of the cycle to renew.
Does anyone have any precedent of VS lowering the threshold for renewal? Obviously we've never been in such a situation before but interested to hear of others experiences.
Thanks

I’d expect other hotel chains to follow suit; whether airlines do remains to be seen.
