It is true see this link Virgin Atlantic Airways - Popup the new allowances come into effect on 23rd September 2009 - the economy allowance is not affected.

Yes, they told us this at check in at MCO a couple of months ago.
When we next go out on Sept 16th we will be in UC [thanks to the Flying Club miles] so fortunately we are allowed 3 cases which we will probably need for all the stuff we normally bring back with us!
