Virgin Atlantic\u2019s frequent flyers can collect loyalty points in a bunch of different ways, and use them to get free tickets to travel from London or Manchester to one of Virgin Atlantic\u2019s destinations in the US, the Caribbean, Asia or Africa.<\/p>
Like most airline reward schemes, Virgin Atlantic\u2019s offers many different ways of earning and spending, so it can be a bit complicated to navigate. Our guide looks at it from all sides and helps you figure out how to get the most out of it.<\/p>
The most basic way to earn Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points is to book flights with Virgin Atlantic whenever you want to go on holiday. For every ticket you purchase, you\u2019ll earn a percentage of the base flown points.<\/p>
The percentage will depend on the class you travel in, from 25% for the cheapest economy class (Economy Light) to 400% for a flexible ticket in the upper class.<\/p>
However, you can also earn Virgin Points in other ways:<\/p>
To complicate things further, Virgin\u2019s Flying Club has 3 different membership tiers. Every year you start with zero Tier Points and a basic Red membership. If you travel enough in one year, you can collect Tier Points that will give you the status of Silver member (400 points) or Gold member (1,000 points).<\/p>
