Although Virgin are technically correct in cutting you off 1 hour before departure for long haul flights, it is not because of an policy by BAA. It is simply the airlines policy. Had you been an Upper Class passenger, or a high spender, you can bet your cotton socks that they would have accepted the luggage. I personally have never had a problem with Virgin, but there is a creeping acceptance of the Ryanair model of exploiting any misfortune of the passenger to make more money.
