PayPal has set up two Pay in 3 contracts for Virgin Atlantic one of which is a duplicate and it appears the flight is not confirmed and the money for both contracts has been taken.

Funds are not “taken” initially but authorized and put on hold until payment status becomes posted/completed. These holds eventually expire on their own and drops off if there’s no order for merchant to capture funds with or merchant doesn’t capture payment on a successful authorization. If the holds last longer than 30 days, contact paypal or your funding source (bank acct or card issuer) to void the authorization.

If you notice duplicated “posted/completed” transactions, go to the transactions at PayPal, click duplicate transaction to open it and click “Report a problem”. Then click “I have a billing issue” and after that, choose “Duplicate transaction” option and follow the prompts.
