The main issue with Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club are certainly not the award levels as such (although they got a bit too expensive in Business Class as well), but the horrendous surcharges on award tickets, which basically kill the attractiveness of the program. As such, the current promotion for a 50% reduction on the mileage portion of all Virgin Atlantic award flights to the US is nice and should be used if possible, but doesn’t address the main issue of the program. Flights under this offer need to be booked by March 20 and travel needs to be completed by June 30.
