Virgin America Announces Fee Changes

*Overweight bag policy: Virgin America maintains one of the most generous first bag weight limits in the industry - up to 70 lbs. For the second through tenth checked bags weighing from 51-70 lbs, the airline charges an additional $50 per bag. For all overweight bags weighing from 71-100 lbs, the airline charges an additional $100 per bag.

**Virgin America's Main Cabin Select and Fully Refundable Fare guests will not be charged for a first bag and First Class guests will not be charged for a first or second bag, but overweight and oversized bag fees are applicable. The airline's checked baggage policy allows guests to check a first bag for $15 that can weigh up to a generous 70 lbs, and a second through tenth bag weighing up to 50 lbs for a $15 fee.

*** Elevate members may change or cancel reservations made with Points via the call center for a $50 redeposit fee, instead of the previously charged $75 fee.
