The Pointy Truth: It Depends (but We Can Help!)
There's no one-size-fits-all answer, my friend. The number of Virgin Points you need to fly to London depends on a few factors, more thrilling than watching paint dry (hopefully). Here's the lowdown:
The Class Act: Economy vs. Fancy Pants
Dreaming of coach seats and questionable airplane food? Or are you picturing yourself sipping champagne in First Class like royalty? Economy Class flights will obviously cost you fewer points than sprawling out in Premium or Upper Class. Think of it as points per inch of legroom.The Peak and the Off-Peak:
Just like your local coffee shop raises prices during rush hour, Virgin Points follow suit. Flying during peak season (think summer holidays or school breaks) will require more points than a shoulder season (spring or fall) adventure.The Great Departure Gamble:
Feeling flexible? You might snag some amazing deals on last-minute flights, which can be a points-saving ninja move. However, this strategy requires some spontaneity (and maybe a boss who's cool with you disappearing on short notice).
Here's a sneak peek to get you started (but remember, these are just estimates):
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
- Economy Class (Off-Peak): Around 18,000 points for a roundtrip could be your magic number.
- Economy Class (Peak Season): Brace yourself for potentially 22,000 points or more.
But wait, there's more! Virgin Atlantic offers a handy Flying Club earning calculator on their website [Virgin Atlantic Flying Club earning calculator]. Just plug in your departure and arrival cities, and voila! Instant point-o-rama.
