Maximum Virgin takes for over weight luggage is 32kg.

Overweight - 100 USD
OVERSIZED - 300 USD

Differs from extra bags (23kg) - 200 USD

Lagos airport will allow you up to 25kg most times.

Zangovinchy:
Good morning Family. Please I saw on virgin Atlantic airline that oversized baggage is #143,000.���. Please how true is this, as it looks outrageous. Or is it my mistake. Please how much do they charge for a bag weighing 36kg Thanks

Hi.

You do not need premium lounge service for SP. However, it that is the only means to secure an early date for biometrics, I suggest to go ahead.

We await the good news.

Was your brother's application recent?. If it was, that's tricky if the available funds will not cover both of you.

If you have not started counting, transfer funds to your account. Your mum will understand.

The response given is correct. Search your school website.

You get the one higher in value.

Are you sure about this? Because I received both.

I think the person of concern should just write to the school admission team for better clarification.
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by fificole: 6:18pm On Sep 10, 2021
It's fine. I see you have received responses.

Reason I asked was to ensure you do not take the option of booking an accommodation when your intended arrival date is close to your visa application date/period.

- Most bookings will debit funds a week or 2 before arrival date
- If you choose to cancel after submitting your application, you may fail verification checks (if its an ECO that is overly detailed).

All the best. Good news soon.

Honestly! People need to read this.

The labs are also overwhelmed (at least that was the response to our email).

fetomowo:
On Covid 19 Test for Day 2 and Day 8

You can find approved test providers here

https://www.find-travel-test-provider.service.gov.uk/test-type/amber

You see, you must take into consideration the location of your test provider for efficiency in delivery of test kits and test results.

There are different types of testing available (self swab or provider supervised which can either be on site or at home), some won't be applicable if you are isolating.

Luckily on that site you can filter to know by each region which test provider covers your area.

Make sure you check reviews online too.

Also check you council government website for more location specific info as well as local covid-19 regulations, program and information.
e.g
for Middlesbrough

*For Coventry*

2x 23kg baggage.

Find link below fees for overweight and extra bags. Not cargo, it flies with you.

Richhard:
Who've used Virgin Atlantic to fly? They say 2x 23kg baggage for free, if someone have got two bags, one is 23kg, second is more than 23kg, will the bag come with flight or they'll use cargo?

From my experience if your accommodation is not close to the Midlands and have to be up-and-about by day 11, avoid them if you can.

Yes they deliver test kits in good time but have terrible timing for results.

My spouse's
Day 2 result sent day 10
Day 5 result was communicated on day 11

Day 8 tests still not out by day 12 for the entire family. Took another day 8 test in a center so I can end isolation to go house viewing.

Callmed:
I'd recommend Dante labs. I paid about £68 pounds(student discount) and it was delivered quickly.

You can only get a proper response from one who has used that route, even information online is contradictory.

Your friend should ask the school if that particular PGD falls under level 7. Read somewhere not all do.

The worry should be if she is the main applicant and how/if she will cope with her studies.

Pregnancy status of any applicant does not form part of the application questionnaire. No law against it, even for the main applicant.

Understand this is make shift and not the contract line one would/may ordinarily eventually subscribe for. My inlaw ordered 3 before we left Nigeria and it did not arrive until day 6 of our quarantine.

Day 10 and Lyca has worked effectively for us - working remotely, all my children's devices, online tv inclusive.

Since they already have the Lycamobile sim, why not make the most of it before the switch.....

You are required to take day 2 and 8 alongside your optional day 5 (Test to release).

You should not take a home test if you want to move around by day 6. Book a center. The proximity of the testing lab matters too.

Priority post is more like Priority visa these days; DELAYED.

My spouse's day 2 and 5 result came on day 7.... The labs are overwhelmed too.

nwauwa:
pls for test to release, are you required to pay and undergo day 2 test, then day 5 test and release on day 6 or does test to release mean just day 5 only test then release on day 6?

This is for people that have done test to release
