Anyone heard about the Virgin/BA refunds

Has anyone heard anything about the refunds from these two companies for long haul flights made around 2006. I did register with someone online but it seems like it was ages ago.

It was for overcharging/price fixing, cant remember exactly.

    I was only thinking about this yesterday,
    I also registerd online (think it was a link on MSE) not heard anything since :confused:

    Did you even get some sort of return email saying that your's had been registerd and they would get back to you.
    My mind tends to wander............If found please return;)

    I can spell...................I just cant type:confused:

    I had a letter from the people dealing with it today. They claim it will be straightforward to claim the refunds, which will be between £4 and £20 per return ticket. They require names plus flight details (dates, airports) so they can trace you to the flights you claim you were on.

    Businesses can claim online from 14.7.08, with payments to be issued from October. You can claim up to 31.12.2012. In the USA all unclaimed money will go to charity but here it will be kept by the airlines.

    You can log a claim on the Virgin Atlantic site.
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.
