===Gender-neutral ticketing and uniforms=== {{further|Legal recognition of non-binary gender}} In September 2022, Virgin Atlantic announced the introduction of two new sets of uniforms, designed by [[Vivienne Westwood]], as well as a new policy to embrace the concept of [[gender neutrality]]. She worked closely with Richard Branson to design a uniform comprises a bright red [[skirt suit]] and [[high-heeled shoes]], and the other a [[burgundy (colour)|burgundy]]-coloured [[trouser suit]] with a grey [[waistcoat]], red tie and flat black shoes. Staff will be allowed to choose either uniform, and may also choose to wear a badge indicating their [[preferred pronoun]] of address. The new uniforms are for crew, pilots and ground staff.<ref name=clatworthy2022>{{cite web | url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/the-oz/news/let-them-wear-skirts-virgin-atlantic-introduces-genderneutral-uniforms/news-story/191f84422b97ae2eea4309e3e6f87f40| website= [[The Australian]]| title='Let them wear skirts': Virgin introduces gender-neutral uniforms| first=Ben|last= Clatworthy |others= [From] ''[[The Times]]''| date=29 September 2022| access-date= 1 October 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/aviation/virgin-atlantic-introduces-gender-neutral-uniforms-for-flight-crew-including-skirts-and-heels-for-men-c-8393504.amp | title='Let them wear skirts,' says Virgin in uniform revamp | date=29 September 2022 |first= Izzy |last=Lyons| others= [From] the ''[[Daily Mail]]''}}</ref> At the same time, the company is making changes to its ticketing systems to allow those holding passports which indicate gender-neutrality to be entered as βUβ or βXβ, as well as offering a new title of address, βMxβ, on their reservations. At this time, not all countries offer this option on passports; those that do include the United States, India, Pakistan,<ref name=clatworthy2022/> Nepal, Australia, Canada, Argentina, Colombia, Germany, Ireland, and Iceland.<ref name="The Economist 2022">{{cite news | title=Which countries offer gender-neutral passports? | newspaper=The Economist | date=11 April 2022 | url=https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/04/11/which-countries-offer-gender-neutral-passports | access-date=1 October 2022}}</ref>
