BA and Virgin Fuel Surcharge Refunds

Do you know that……..

IF YOU BOUGHT A TICKET ON BRITISH AIRWAYS OR VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRWAYS IN THE UK OR IN THE USA BETWEEN 11 AUGUST 2004 AND 23 MARCH 2006, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A PARTIAL REFUND OF THE FUEL SURCHARGE.

The refund applies to tickets on “long-haul” flights; the ticket purchase must have been made in the UK or in the USA. Long-haul flights include all Virgin Atlantic flights and most British Airways flights between the U.K. and non-E.U. destinations, including flights to and from the United States.

Sadly BA and Virgin in the UK don’t seem to be bound by the same obligations as they are in the USA (where they have to donate unclaimed refunds to a charity, Miracle Flights for Kids) – in the UK they will keep any unclaimed refunds!!

Now that's really outrageous, isn't it?!

So if you think you might qualify for a refund or want to just find out more, click on this link to the BA & Virgin Passenger Settlement website – don’t delay, do it NOW!
