Reward seat deals

Reward seats are a special allocation of seats on every long haul flight that can be booked using your Virgin Points. And they’re exactly that – a reward for earning all those lovely points.​

Reward seats offer greater flexibility than most regular tickets that you pay with money. Reward seats don't have minimum or maximum durations and can be used on one way flights.

Reward seats are excellent value, especially on longer flights, and in Premium and Upper Class.

We guarantee a minimum of twelve reward seats on all Virgin Atlantic long haul flights – eight in Economy Classic, two in Premium and two in Upper Class so you can redeem your points on a flight somewhere fabulous.​ 

More about reward seats

• When you book a reward seat, the cost of your flight is covered with points. All you need to pay for are the taxes, fees and carrier imposed surcharges. ​
   
• If the reward seats have already been snapped up for the flight you want, you can still use your points as part-payment on a normal seat with Points Plus Money, from as little as 3000 points. You'll also earn tier points to help you get to Silver and Gold status. However it’s always worth checking back, as more reward seats can be released closer to the departure date.​
  
  
• For flights where there are no available reward seats, Points Plus Money is a great alternative. Points Plus Money is available on every Virgin Atlantic operated flight when booked online and will reduce the cost of your flight for each 3,000 points redeemed. Plus you'll also earn Virgin Points to top up your account balance, and tier points to help with achieving Gold and Silver status.
