I recievd an e-mail from Virgin saying the same thing.If war breaks out (what a strange saying...sorry I digress ) you can change your flights free of charge,I think it's a very good idea.

I think I may have got the Virgin info too.

It's clear why they are doing it, sadly - but still, a good idea.
