Discover Virgin Red: How to turn Virgin Points into flights

Here’s everything you need to know about spending your Virgin Points on Virgin Atlantic reward flights, now offering more flexibility than ever. 

How to spend points on Virgin Atlantic Reward Seats

Reward seats are seats on flights that can be booked using Virgin Points. You can now use your points for every seat onboard, on any flight, on any date. Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a solo adventure, your points offer limitless choice and flexibility. When you book a reward seat, you’ll cover the airfare balance with your points, while the rest - taxes, fees, and carrier-imposed surcharges* - is paid with money. This makes reward seats an affordable way to travel to sought-after destinations like Orlando, New York, and the Caribbean. With the added option of new Saver reward seats, flights to New York start from just 6,000 points plus taxes, fees, and surcharges**. Look for the Saver label when you search for flights or use our Reward Seat Checker to spot the best deals.
