I'm pretty sure you're able to rebook up until April 2023 with no fee, except to pay the difference in fare price.

Can you not check this online or try a dummy flight change yourself on manage my booking?

I haven't flown Virgin recently, but all the airlines I've used in the past 5-6 months have allowed me to move flights online or at least check how much it would cost me (usually nothing unless price difference).

I would do it online, not persist with the phone calls.

Try Twitter. I tweeted British Airways and sorted it all out over the chat function and you have a written record then of your dealings with them.

Sorry - I see you've done that. Looks like you'll just have to keep calling. Very annoying and inefficient!
