I'm about to book a RT IAD-LHR on Delta, but flight is on Virgin metal (Upper Class). There was a small notation that the flight was operated by Virgin and that additional fees may apply. Then at checkout, there was this in the fine print: "You may see separate transactions to your credit card based on the vendors and the products you are purchasing. Amounts may vary dependant on the rate of exchange at time of transaction." I don't want to book what I think is the final cost only to be surprised with a large additional payment - amount of which is unknown up front. I know I can call Delta but in the interest of saving time and frustration - anyone have experience with this that can let me know if there will be a surprise charge on my credit card? Thank you!!

I think that what this refers to is that you have to pay for seat assignments on VS if you don't have any sort of status. That's the only "additional fee" I've ever run into when flying with them (same can apply on KL and AF, depending on what type of flight you're on - e.g. intra-Europe vs. long-haul).

Thanks, @Cory6188 ... I don't think I've ever flown on Delta (we live in a United hub area) so I didn't know if this was something to be concerned about. When looking on the Virgin site, the same flight booked directly through them is more expensive (by several hundred dollars).

Standard when booking a flight on a partner (even UA) they let you know additional fees may apply. Don't want you shocked that VS charges a seat assignment fee.
