    This is where Virgin Miles & Avios come into their own


    £35 cancel fee & you get all the miles back

    This is exactly the type of situation travel insurance is for, so claim off that. Its not their fault or problem that you are pregnant (congratulations btw!)

    I very much doubt that last post is true. Phone operators have no authority to breach ticket rules in that way.
