This is cheap!!!!! Issue is getting in and out. Not sure if the airport has improved recently but last month a friend was stuck in there for 5hrs on arrival for the various formalities.
If I understand them correctly (disclaimer: I'm not very good at this and I didn't read the whole thing in the first place), you can change your tickets for an extra £300, but my best guess is that they won't make a corona waiver free of charge on this one if you can't travel to India in January.
Shame because it's indeed a great deal. Looks like Nov-Dec already sold out only january left.

I feel they will open as their economy is getting hit bad. But it will most likely come with quarantines at both ends.
Personally I couldn’t consider touching this for January... unless there was a likelihood for it to be cancelled and then virgin allowing a re-booking until later next year... sounds like india is not in great shape right now.
You could book this for January. Wait and see how it goes in India ...
assuming things have not markedly improved, you could call a few weeks beforehand and change the ticket for end of March...
and if the end of March came around, still no improvement, you could then cancel the ticket and keep the credit (£781) on your VS account, and use this on another itinerary anywhere up to September 2022?
If so, this isn’t sounding so bad now...
Plus, if you have a VS mastercard, this will allow you to hit the £500 spend with VS/Virgin Holidays in the next few weeks to award you an upgrade voucher. Although, I’m not sure what the effect would be if you ultimately cancelled the ticket for credit - hopefully they wouldn’t claw back the voucher - as they’ve still had your money and it stays with them as credit!!

What you've described is pretty much what I'm hoping! For £780 I'm happy to take a punt...
Does this mean that if I book a fare for January 2021 (for 781 GBP)... and then decide to change it to say Nov 10th 2020 - Nov 30th 2020 ... I can get it for 781GBP? (waiver on fare difference + no change fees?)
Because currently Nov 10th - 30th shows up as 1293GBP...
Really? :O
EDIT: Found the answer here: https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/u...es-policy.html
So only tickets already booked for travel until 30th Nov 2020 can be changed without any change fees and also the fare difference will be waived.
Tickets for travel after 1st Dec 2020 do not get a waiver on fare difference so the scenario I mentioned above cannot be played out.
