Virgin Atlantic has extended the travel date for flight credits issued due to COVID-19 disruptions, responding to significant customer criticism. Originally set to expire soon, customers now have additional time to utilize their credits. The new deadline remains June 30th, meaning credits must still be *spent* by this date, but travel can now occur further into the year. The airline faced public outcry over the initial expiration policy, as many customers were unable to travel due to ongoing travel restrictions or personal circumstances. This move aims to alleviate frustration and allow more passengers to redeem their credits. While the extension provides relief, customers are still urged to book flights promptly to avoid losing the value of their credits. The airline did not specify the exact length of the extension granted.
