Virgin Atlantic Flying Club award chart (2026)
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is one of the most unusual loyalty programs because of its partner agreements. ANA round-trip business at 90K, ANA First at 110K round-trip, Delta One US-Europe at 50K one-way — these are some of the best premium-cabin redemptions in the points world. And Virgin transfers in from every major bank.

Booking notes
- ANA awards must be round-trip and book by phone (Virgin agents handle it)
- Delta One bookings are increasingly online — some still require phone
- Virgin charges fuel surcharges only on Virgin-metal flights ($600+ on long-haul UK)
- Air France/KLM partner bookings are online and reliable
Common pitfalls
- Virgin's website availability for ANA is unreliable — call ANA directly to confirm space, then call Virgin to book
- Fuel surcharges on Virgin metal can hit $700 round-trip transatlantic in business — Delta One via Virgin avoids this
- ANA First Class space is rare and books fast — set alerts
Frequently asked questions
How do I book ANA First Class with Virgin Atlantic miles?
First, find ANA First Class saver space (use ANA's website or AwardLocker). Then call Virgin Atlantic Flying Club at 1-800-365-9500 and ask them to book a partner award. ANA partner first must be round-trip; Virgin charges 110K total miles + ~$200 in taxes.
Why use Virgin Atlantic to book Delta?
Delta One US-Europe is 50K one-way via Virgin Atlantic — significantly cheaper than what Delta charges directly. Delta's own SkyMiles pricing for the same flight is often 100K+ at saver and well over 200K at peak. The catch: you need to find Delta saver space, which has gotten harder.
Do Virgin awards have fuel surcharges?
Yes on Virgin metal (typically $400-700 round-trip on long-haul). Partner awards (Delta, ANA, Air France/KLM) have minimal or no carrier surcharges.
