I am booking a flight to New York and a cheaper option is to go economy light on virgin atlantic and then pay for one checked in baggage 23kg. 2 of us going but we will be fine with 1 x 23kg and 2x10kg that's included. But.....when I go to book the cheapest offer on Trip it does not say meals provided on economy light but it does on economy. If that makes sense. So can anyone tell me if I book virgin atlantic economy light + one checked in will we get t
Meals? Many thanks

A five second Google says:
.All Economy services include
Free 10kg hand luggage
300+ hours of TV and films
Complimentary drinks and snacks
A choice of tasty meal options

Kids goodie packs

Economy 'light' is about bag options not food

Thank you I had looked at that but felt a second opinion making sure I had not misunderstood was needed. Buying flights always feels like such a big commitment!

Would book using Virgin Atlantics website directly rather than a third party like trip.

VAs website itself is easy to use.

Economy light does NOT include a checked bag. Would look at economy flex or economy Delight on VA for checked baggage.
