Some interesting promises are popping up in recent weeks by several airlines, but the one just launched by Virgin Atlantic falls into one of those to be evaluated very carefully.
Up to 20k Flying Club points for free
In this article:
Book any round-trip flight by September 4, 2023, for travel between September 1, 2023 and May 31, 2024, and you will receive:
- 5,000 bonus Virgin points if you fly Economy
- 10,000 bonus Virgin Points if you fly in Premium
- 20,000 bonus Virgin points if you fly Upper Class
The promotion is also valid in the case of a one-way ticket, in which case a half bonus as is logical. On balance Silver and Gold Flying Club members earn an additional 30% and 60%, respectively Of Virgin points on flights.
How to use 20k FC points
If 20k points seems low I can say that this is definitely not the case. With a round-trip ticket to New York in upper class, that's what VS's business is called, you get at least 60k points, if you have the Gold level the same ticket, including the bonus, can add up to just under 90k miles in the Virgin loyalty program.
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
With 20k points you can book a round-trip award ticket to fly from London to the Caribbean, or from London to the East Coast of the United States. But Virgin points can also be used to fly with all Skyteam partners and beyond. The bonus could be used to fly with ITA Airways Or with All Nippon Airlines.
