You might want to check if baggage is included. I suspect LoveHolidays have used the Virgin Light hand baggage only fare.
This is what's included for luggage according to the extras tab on their website:
Luggage Included free
1x carry-on luggage per person included FREE. Maximum weight: 6kg
4x 23kg Hold luggage for the group included FREE.
Will check their small print.
