How to earn miles

You can earn Flying Club miles by flying on Virgin Atlantic, by flying on alliance partners (where applicable), and by spending on the airline's co-branded credit cards. Many programs also let you transfer points in from flexible bank programs like Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, Capital One miles, or Bilt Rewards.

How to redeem miles

The most rewarding redemptions are usually international premium cabins booked on Virgin Atlantic or its partners. Always compare the program's award rate against partner programs—sometimes a transferable-points program offers the same flight at half the cost.
