Virgin Atlantic introduced a boarding process in 2023, ranking passengers by status and cabin class.
The process allocates a group number based on status and cabin class, with higher status and premium classes boarding first.
Anyone with higher status or travelling in premium classes boards first; if you have lower status or are travelling in economy you’ll board later.
This system aims to reduce confusion by clearly printing group numbers on boarding passes.
