Virgin's unpackaged costing policy
We pride ourselves in our flexibility. Therefore, you can mix and match hotels
contained on this website to make up your own combinations. Please call our
Telesales Team on 0871 222 5825 for an individual costing. Our policy
is to base the price on the first hotel in the itinerary, unless the first hotel
is less than a 7-night duration (or less than 3 nights in New York or Boston),
then we would base the cost on a Fly Drive. You must then add to ALL unpackaged
costings, the extra night hotel rates, single supplements, internal flights,
car hire, transfers, etc as applicable.
