Our Verdict
Keep in mind the high taxes and fees, these aren’t discounted unfortunately.
Hat tip to VFTW
Took a peak but the fees make this a non-starter. US-departures and LHR departures you’re looking at $800+ in fees one-way. This
Virgin is known for excessively high fees on reward flights. You are basically paying for the ticket! Book with delta points or air france/klm points.
Yeah flying into Heathrow on a Virgin award has high fees. Better to use Virgin miles to fly on Delta or other partner, but I dont think that’s party of the sale here.
lol horrible. dunno if they’re talking about pts off or the “LHR FEE $900 USD”. The only time I found value flying Virgin was trying out their new A330 Neos in November when they were first released. November sale 50% non-peak. So it was 22k pts + $600 fee which was okay. + Virgin Lounge in LHR is topnotch.
Booking partners with virgin is good though
Depends. It’s ok if you would like to try KLM and AF business class, which are mid tier at best + $300. I havn’t found Delta One 50k 5.60 deals since last year. We will see what happens after Virgin joins Skyteam in a few weeks and see if they will get devalued again, esp with sky poo poo partnership.
