Lost and Found Virgin Atlantic

About Virgin Atlantic

Virgin Atlantic (VS) is a British long-haul airline founded by Sir Richard Branson in 1984 and headquartered in Crawley, West Sussex. The airline operates primarily from London Heathrow and Manchester to destinations in North America, the Caribbean, Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Virgin Atlantic is a member of the SkyTeam alliance and has a reputation for award-winning cabin service across its Economy, Premium, and Upper Class cabins. The airline operates a modern fleet of Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

With a strong focus on transatlantic routes and leisure travel to the Caribbean, Virgin Atlantic carries millions of passengers each year. Long-haul flights create a high volume of cabin belongings, including blankets, headphones, books, tablets, and travel pillows, many of which are left in seat pockets or overhead lockers at the end of a flight. Reporting a loss promptly after landing gives you the best chance of recovery.

What to Do If You’ve Lost Something with Virgin Atlantic

Contact Virgin Atlantic’s lost property team as soon as you notice the loss. Provide your flight details, seat number, and a full description of the item. The airline’s customer service team can help trace items found on board and coordinate with airport handling staff if the item may have been retrieved at the gate.

You can also submit a report through our platform, so that our team can contact and follow up with the lost property office(s) on your behalf.

Items Lost on Board vs. at the Airport

If you lost an item in the aircraft cabin, contact Virgin Atlantic directly. If the item was lost in the terminal at Heathrow, Manchester, or another departure point, contact that airport’s lost property office separately. Virgin Atlantic’s agents can advise which team to contact based on where in the journey the loss occurred.

Tips to Efficiently Report a Lost Item

• Retain your boarding pass, as your seat number and flight details are required when filing a report
• Report as soon as possible after landing, ideally before leaving the arrivals hall
• Provide as much detail as possible including colour, brand, size, and contents of any bag
• If you left something in Upper Class or Premium, note the cabin in your report as cleaning procedures differ
• Check with the destination airport’s lost property office if the item may have fallen at the gate or jet bridge
