The Virgin Atlantic Flying Club program explained
Flying Club is the loyalty program of Virgin Atlantic, the UK airline part-owned by Delta and a SkyTeam member since 2023. Its currency, Virgin Points, is shared with Virgin Red in the UK, and can be redeemed on Virgin Atlantic, Delta, Air France, KLM and other SkyTeam carriers, plus long-standing non-alliance partners such as ANA, Singapore Airlines and Virgin Australia.
Virgin Points are one of the most widely available currencies for US cardholders: American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One, Citi ThankYou Points, Bilt, Wells Fargo and Marriott Bonvoy all transfer in, and Virgin runs transfer bonuses regularly. Sweet spots on partners, rather than Virgin Atlantic's own flights, drive most of the demand.

How members earn Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points
- Flying Virgin Atlantic, Delta and partner airlines, with points earned by fare class and distance.
- Transfers from American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One, Citi ThankYou Points, Bilt and Wells Fargo, usually at 1:1.
- The Virgin Atlantic World Elite Mastercard in the US and the Virgin Atlantic credit cards in the UK.
- Virgin Red, Virgin Atlantic Holidays, partner hotels and the Flying Club shopping portal.
Best ways to use Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points
- ANA first and business class between the US and Japan, long regarded as one of the best-value awards in any program.
- Delta one-way economy awards on short domestic and Caribbean routes, priced by a fixed distance-based chart.
- Virgin Atlantic Upper Class between the US and London, which is bookable online with good availability.
- Air France and KLM awards to Europe, and Delta One when Delta releases partner space.
What to watch out for
- Awards on Virgin Atlantic flights, particularly from the UK, carry high carrier surcharges that can reach several hundred dollars each way.
- Partner awards such as ANA often require a phone call, and availability is limited to what the partner releases.
- Virgin Atlantic moved its own flights to fully dynamic award pricing on October 30, 2024, so premium cabin prices on peak dates have risen sharply, and Delta One awards to Europe now carry surcharges of $1,000 or more.
Elite status tiers
- 1Red
- 2Silver
- 3Gold
Status is earned through Tier Points from flights on Virgin Atlantic and partners. Silver corresponds to SkyTeam Elite and Gold to SkyTeam Elite Plus, with Gold members receiving Clubhouse lounge access.
Should you sell your Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points?
Keep your points if you are targeting a specific partner sweet spot such as ANA to Japan or Delta short-haul awards, or if you fly Upper Class between the US and UK and can accept the surcharges.
Consider selling if you hold a large balance with no specific redemption in mind. Virgin Points never expire, but they are easy to replace later by transferring from a bank program during a bonus, so there is little reason to sit on a big balance while award prices rise.
