What do you think of the changes? Apologies in advance if any of the information is light on detail, the airline themselves were light on it! I’ll try to cover in more detail after the changes come into effect at the end of October - along with a refresh of my intro to Virgin Flying Club Video. Enjoy!
I can believe how much they want now to fly. I booked a flight for June 2025 with 42,500 before the change they now want 259,000 points this is so crazy
Thanks for the comment, Emma. I completely agree - it is VERY out of reach for UK consumers. We will all just have to look out for those elusive saver pricing seats...
Personally I think its a good thing that all seats are now available with points it used to be very frustrating searching on the virgin website and finding no points seats available. But granted the value of the points may go down. Great video!
Yeahhh… as with all changes, for some it will be good 😀 still think they really need to make that upgrade voucher simpler - thank you for watching the very hastily arranged video!
I was just about to use my points to fly to nyc but decided to wait. Now seeing this, I think you may well be right and my points (plus companion vouchers) may not stretch as far is if I use them now..
Thanks for watching, Jason. I think there's just too much that's a bit unclear right now - the 'Saver' space is not guaranteed and the value of the voucher will be variable. If you've got a date in mind and you were planning to book, definitely go for it! I hope you have a fun trip to NYC.

Great vid, Think I’m going to burn through my VM’s very quickly more reasons for me to (currently!) stay oneworld centric!!
Thanks Marcel 😀 think I’d agree with you…not to mention the pretty poor recognition and benefits of status across Skyteam 💤
