Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
How it works
Flying Club punches above its weight on partner sweet spots: ANA business between Japan and the US for ~90k round trip, Delta One transatlantic at reward-sale prices, and cheap ANA/Air France redemptions. A SkyTeam member since 2023, it's a transfer partner of all four major US banks plus Amex AU, making Virgin Points among the easiest to amass.
- ANA business at ~90k round trip is the signature redemption — must be round trip, book by phone.
- Watch for Reward Seat Sales that slash Delta One and Virgin's own transatlantic prices.
- Transfers in from Amex, Chase, Citi, Capital One and Bilt are 1:1 and near-instant.
- Virgin-metal awards carry high fuel surcharges — partner metal is usually the better buy.
Sweet spots
2Fly ANA business on Virgin Atlantic miles
Virgin Atlantic prices ANA business between Japan and the US west coast at ~90k miles round trip (95k to the east coast) — a long-standing partner sweet spot. Must be round trip and booked by phone; ANA business space is the limiter.
Delta One to the US via Flying Club
Flying Club regularly runs reduced 'Reward Seat Sale' pricing on Delta One transatlantic, with no fuel surcharges on Delta metal — far cheaper than Delta's own dynamic SkyMiles cost.
