- Date changes can be made (normal charges apply).

Our Verdict
Taxes, fees and fuel surcharges kill Virgin Atlantic for me, rather than the actual cost in miles. That being said, this isn’t as much of an issue for everybody and I’m sure a lot of readers will find some good value in this award sale. They offered a similar discount this earlier this year, but only on economy flights.
