    And with respect, these are NOT cheap tickets. I went direct to Virgin Atlantic and paid the market price, £1061 for the two, not a comparison site. Virgin are the only carrier to offer a direct flight to Cuba.

    And with all due respect, £1061 for 2 flights to Cuba is cheap. Especially considering they are direct.

    On your manage my booking page on the virgin website there will be an option for amending/changing a flight. Choose this, go through it, pick some new dates and before checking out it'll tell you how much it will be to change the flights - the change fee and fare difference.

    Do it might be £100-£200 as a fee to change the flight and if the ticket prices have gone up then that will be added on top of that. I have changed loads of flights for work and for personal (although not with virgin for personal use).

    FYI if you're worried about money for changing flights, then is it a good idea to go to Australia? those flights can start from £800+ per ticket at non peak times!
