Although redemption discounts are offered from time to time in various programs such as Flying Blue Monthly PromotionThese offers are often filled with annoying restrictions, such as blackout dates, or they may only be valid for economy-class flights or certain routes.

This offer is generous and much simpler. Simply redeem your Virgin Points between October 28 and November 7, 2022, for a Virgin Atlantic operated flight to any destination they fly in the US or the Caribbean between now and March 25, 2023, on any day in any cabinand you will get 50% Virgin Points back after traveling.

With no blackout dates and applicable to all cabins, this is possibly the best miles and points redemption you’ll see this year. As the majority of Virgin’s flight network is from the UK to the US and the Caribbean, the only destinations excluded from this offer are:

• Cape Town City.
• Delhi, India.
• Islamabad.
• Johannesburg.
• Lahore, Pakistan.
• Mumbai, India.
• Tel Aviv.

So how many Virgin Points can you save on your next point redemption?

Remember, Virgin’s brand new A330neo aircraft with the new Luxury Suite now flying to Boston (BOS) and soon to Tampa (TPA), with both destinations included in this offer.

Flying 23,750 miles from Florida to the UK each way in business class is one of the best acquisitions you can see in the near future, even with taxes and fuel surcharges.

The supply process is somewhat unusual and complicated. Instead of discounting the required number of points when booking during the offer period, Flying Club members will need to redeem the full amount and will then receive 50% of the points back once logged into their Virgin Red account. them, 28 days after travelling.

Flying Club members must ensure that they have opened a Virgin Red account prior to travel in order to redeem their points. Your Virgin Red points will show up in both your Flying Club and Virgin Red accounts, which means you can use the redeemed points in your Virgin Red account to book flights through Flying Club without having to transfer them from one account to another.

However, for such a generous offer, it’s well worth jumping through a few small hoops, and I suspect this promotion was put in place to encourage Flying Club members to open a Virgin Red account. . If you currently have an eligible destination destination redemption during the offer period, you may want to cancel it for $50 (£43) and rebook from October 28, so the booking is entitled benefit from 50% point rebate.

This incredible offer is only available for a limited time, so make sure you Pre-order here by November 7, 2022.
