Virgin Galactic spaceflight seats opened at US$850,000 per person in the company’s latest limited allocation. Its 12 November 2026 update confirmed the price, up US$100,000 from the previous sold-out release. How many seats remain and when a new customer might fly are still questions for the operator.

What has changed for Virgin Galactic spaceflight seats?

When RocketBreaks covered the reopening of Virgin Galactic bookings, the new price had yet to be disclosed. The 12 November business update puts a figure on that release: $850,000, around 13% above the previous $750,000 allocation.

The figure applies to this limited release. If you’re considering a seat, ask whether the allocation still has availability and what the full payment schedule would be. The headline price alone doesn’t tell you how much is due upfront or when you might fly.

When could Virgin Galactic fly again?

Virgin Galactic expects its first Delta-class spaceship, Apeiron, to make its first glide flight in January 2027. The company is still targeting early Q2 2027 for its first commercial spaceflight. A glide flight is a test milestone. The commercial target does not give a new customer a confirmed travel date.

What should you check before paying a deposit?

Ask for the deposit amount, who holds it and whether any protection applies. Get the cancellation, postponement and refund terms in writing. Ask what happens if the programme is delayed or the operator cannot deliver the flight.

The company’s quarterly SEC filing repeated its existing warning that cash and marketable securities may fall short of what it needs to sustain planned operations for the following 12 months. That disclosure makes it especially useful to understand what happens to your money before committing.
