The A3XX was launched when Virgin Atlantic order 6 firm + 6 options. However due to uncertain conditions, airports not being ready to take the aircraft (LAX, LGW etc.) & the emergence of a new breed of composite aircraft Virgin defered it.

But assuming that hadn't all happened, Virgin Atlantic would have been the 2nd airline after Sinapore Airlines to take delivery of an A380. So what would they do with them? Are they still getting them? What features may be installed?
