Two words Thank you!

### 5/5 — Best airline

*2026-08-10, version 2.65.1*

Technology and ease to do business and leisure with are second to none

### 1/5 — Won’t recognise my account

*2026-08-09, version 2.65.0*

The app won’t let me login. Doesn’t like my name or email address, either way very unusable.

### 1/5 — Can’t book flights?

*2026-08-05, version 2.64.0*

For the last week it’s been glitchy and not letting me book flights, the landing page is either blank or reloads to blank after I’ve scrolled down. What is the actual point of this glitchy rubbish

### 1/5 — Delayed boarding

*2026-08-05, version 2.64.0*

What’s the point of displaying a boarding time when it won’t be followed. 20 minutes delayed. Flight va383.

### 1/5 — Useless check in

*2026-07-30, version 2.64.0*

Have tried numerous times to check in using the app and website. It showed promise that it MAY work, however after choosing seat selection and paying for that- it would not let me check in. Over a number of hours and hours have tried multiple times on the app and website to no avail. This happens every time I fly- would be an excellent feature if it even mabye sometimes worked. 
App very glitchy and won’t let me log in, or as soon as I do it kicks me off.

### 5/5 — Service

*2026-07-30, version 2.64.0*

Virgin is my number one airline for travel. Super easy process and customer service are fantastic to deal with, not only via telephone but in person, so obliging and make everything feel easy!  I’ll continue to remain a loyal customer for many years to come… 🥰

### 5/5 — Top Service

Amazing staff all round, very caring and assisting elderly mother so kindly, thank you Virgin staff 10/10

### 1/5 — Seat selection

*2026-07-27, version 2.64.0*

Quickest way to upset people is to change their seats constantly
