Virgin America and Card authorisation

Hi
Anyone had an issue with Virgin America? Purchased 2 tickets on the 12th Card was auth as normal, and Virgin claimed the funds 2 days later, all good except the Auth has not dropped off the card, So they are still holding £400 of my money in limbo. Seems an odd way of doing it, normally the Auth is replaced by the transaction.

Anyone know how long it takes to drop off?

Raise a query with your card issuer, that's probably best option but I would expect it to drop off in the next couple of days anyway.

The card issuer says up to 30 days! - they say Virgin can cancel it their end, Virgin have no idea what I am on about, its been 9 days now Going to have to suck it up I think

all you can do is wait it out...
had 2 similar issues after my NY trip.
One Steak restaurant charged my card 3 times (this was via my supercard)! money was taken for one (which is correct) & about 10 days later the other 2 payments was cancelled.

Another was in JFK duty free. Been home 2 weeks & money still not been taken. That was on a different Credit Card.
