Bringing a diaper (nappy) bag on Virgin Atlantic

 

Yes — you can bring a diaper (nappy) bag on board when travelling with a baby. It’s normally treated as a baby essential and allowed in addition to your standard carry-on allowance so you have nappies, spare clothes, milk and wipes to hand.

• What you can carry: nappies, wipes, spare clothes, blankets, feeding bottles, formula, expressed milk and baby food for the flight.
• Liquids at security: baby milk, formula and sterilised water are normally exempt from the 100 ml restriction but must be declared and screened separately at security.
• Strollers/car seats: pushchairs/strollers and infant car seats are usually accepted free of charge (often gate-checked). Check your booking for exact rules.
• Practical tips: label the bag, pack essentials in clear pouches for faster security checks, and arrive early so you have time to manage baby needs and checks.
• Confirm before travel: allowances can vary by fare type and route — if you need absolute certainty, contact Virgin Atlantic or check your booking documents before departure.
