Virgin Atlantic beginning Oct. 30 will allow Flying Club loyalty program members to pay for any seat with Virgin Points, the carrier announced Monday, among other changes to the program.
The carrier also said it would launch what it called “saver reward seats,” a tier offered “from prices even lower than reward seats today,” and will increase point-earning rates in Premium and Upper Class cabins.
Flying Club members will be able to use Virgin Points to pay for any seat on any date. The price of the seats will vary in line with demand, according to the carrier.
In addition, members will be able to use their points to upgrade to any available Premium or Upper Class seat from standard or reward tickets, and be able to use their companion or upgrade vouchers on any seat.
Further, the amount of Virgin Points earned on Upper Class tickets will increase by up to 50 percent and Premium tickets will increase by up to 75 precent, according to the carrier.
