Some instruments or equipment may be small enough to fit in your baggage (refer to size limits), however if it is too large, you may include it as part of your checked bag allowance or pay an additional baggage fee.  If you are traveling with sporting equipment, you may include it as part of your checked baggage allowance as long as it weighs 50 lb. (23 kg) or less.  For additional information on either of these items, please refer to Virgin Atlantic’s website and view their baggage policy page.
