Virgin Atlantic's customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. My 83 year old mother's walker was misplaced. After countless attempts to locate it and an unnecessary trip from Ireland to Heathrow. It was declared lost. Despite the two months of chasing, a number of phone calls (at international call rates) and a flight from Dublin to Heathrow (I was told that the walker had been located and that I could collect it from London Heathrow. After a three hour runaround, I was told it had been sent to their headquarters in Scotland), Virgin Atlantic are only prepared to reimburse the cost of the walker. It's not so much the cost but the stress, time and lack of ability to take responsibility and inconsistent responses that really surprised me.
