Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your Virgin Atlantic award flights for peak summer travel (June through August) at least 6 months in advance, specifically in January or February, to secure availability on popular routes like London to New York.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from the U.S. East Coast to London in Upper Class for 90,000 Virgin Atlantic miles, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR) to Tokyo (NRT) for 90,000 miles in premium economy, instead of booking a direct LAX to NRT flight that would typically cost 110,000 miles, saving you 20,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on domestic routes, as they often charge high fees such as a $55 carry-on fee and a $100 fee for seat selection, significantly increasing your travel costs.
