Virgin Atlantic
Flying Club
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club uses Virgin Points and is best known as a partner redemption programme, with a widely researched reward chart on selected SkyTeam and non-alliance partners.
Virgin's own Upper Class awards carry meaningful surcharges from London, which is why partner redemptions often show better value per point.
Earning Virgin Points
Points accrue on Virgin Atlantic and partner flights, UK and US co-brand cards, retail partners and most major bank transfer programmes.
Redeeming Virgin Points
Redemptions cover Virgin Atlantic flights, partner awards, upgrades and reward seat sales when published.
Expiry rules
Flying Club applies activity-based validity to Virgin Points. Confirm the current window with Virgin Atlantic.
Transfers and pooling
Virgin supports points transfers within a household in some markets, and many bank programmes transfer in at 1:1.
Buying points from Virgin Atlantic
Virgin Atlantic sells Virgin Points directly during promotional windows.
Where the value sits
Partner redemptions typically deliver stronger value per point than Virgin's own long-haul awards once surcharges are included.
