Can I bring a travel stroller on a Virgin Atlantic flight when travelling with a baby?

 

Yes. Virgin Atlantic generally allows one stroller (pushchair) and one car seat per child free of charge as part of your child’s baggage. You can usually use the stroller in the terminal and then have it gate‑checked at the aircraft door — it will be stored in the hold and returned either at the aircraft door on arrival or at baggage reclaim depending on the airport.

  • If you buy a seat for your child, you may use an approved car seat on board (it must have the correct aircraft approval label).
  • Collapsible travel strollers that meet carry‑on size may sometimes be taken into the cabin, but this depends on space and airport/crew instructions.
  • Arrive early and tell check‑in or the gate team you have a stroller so they can tag it correctly.
  • Check specifics before travel for your departure/arrival airports or codeshare flights, as local procedures can differ.
