Sadly they charge so much in fuel surcharges and taxes that a one way business class ticket from the US to Europe is almost $800. No thanks.
The best options i’ve seen is Delta One to USA outside of LHR airport for $300 or KL/Air France last minute or low season travel in Business for 45-50k pts + $200-$300. I would like to try KLM Biz just for the cute lil netherlands house~
So with the 30% off Virgin transfer available and with the brand new Virgin voyages offer available for seven nights out of Athens or Barcelona cruise available you’re technically only paying 56,000 points for a seven day cruise in June or July! That’s unbelievable I’ve already booked two weeks I’m about to book a 3rd I can’t even find a hotel in Rome for 56,000 points! I’m literally gonna spend the next two months living on a cruise ship, eating for free and enjoying life. I work from the road so this is insane. You even get free Wi-Fi and soda package.
Yes, a pretty cool redemption if you can manage the dates/travel window. But your calculation is slightly off. It will be 62,000 MR that will be needed with the 30% bonus for a total of 80,000 Virgin points to avail this.
Thanks for posting and sharing this with the community!
Your right i did my math the wrong way thanks for the update.
Very interesting, thank you. Should also note that Chase UR also has a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin ending on 6/15.
I save chase for United and Hyatt
I’m not familiar with Virgin, have never flown them or even joined the rewards program but I’m a points/miles enthusiast with a bunch of Amex, Chase, Citi and various hotel/air points and we would love to go back to Greece. Can you elaborate on how this works? I’ve just looked at the Virgin sites and see nothing about this, is this a cardholder only promo? Can you point me in the right direction? TIA for any assistance you can give.

Wow, you can book a Virgin Voyages European cruise for two people for 80,000 points. With the 30% transfer bonus, that’s a pretty good deal (assuming the transfer is 1:1)!
Oops, I see this was mentioned above.
