Flying Club guide

Virgin Atlantic · Virgin Points · SkyTeam

Virgin Atlantic’s program uses Virgin Points for rewards. Points do not expire, but reward pricing, partner availability and cash charges still matter.

How it works

Flying Club is Virgin Atlantic’s airline program. Virgin Points are the reward currency; Tier Points track membership status.

Earning

UK Virgin Atlantic Reward and Reward+ cards earn Virgin Points directly. Other routes include eligible flights and participating transfer or lifestyle partners.

Using rewards

Search Virgin-operated and eligible partner reward flights or upgrades. Compare the points required with cash charges; a points ticket is not necessarily free.

Partners

Virgin Atlantic is in SkyTeam and also has individual airline partners. Partner award prices and available seats can differ from Virgin-operated flights.

Expiry

Virgin Points do not expire. Membership inactivity and Tier Point qualification are separate policies.

Before you book

Card reward vouchers are governed by separate rules. Check passenger eligibility, the voucher’s expiry and the required cash charges before selecting a card for a voucher.
