- Hold an equivalent second tier membership with another airline’s frequent flyer program (see table below)
- Be able to send a valid recent statement showing that you fly enough times on the Virgin Atlantic network to maintain silver status
- To receive the match you must send all relevant info to [email protected]

Our Verdict
You can view the gold benefits in detail here & silver benefits here. In my opinion needing the already booked ticket (especially in premium economy or business class for the gold status) kills the deal. I wonder if an award booking would qualify? Either way thought this might be useful to some readers.
