Virgin Atlantic Award Sale, Get 30% Discount on Select Routes

Virgin Atlantic has launched a reward sale, offering a discount on select routes. For a limited time only, you can book a reward seat from some US to the London and Manchester and get 30% off the usual points price.

You need to book by the end of this month and travel through May 31, 2023. This sale gets even better if you wait for the upcoming 3% transfer bonus from Citi. Let’s see how it works.

Fly from select US cities to London and Manchester for 30% less. These are the discounted award prices:

• New York (JFK) to Manchester (MAN) from 14,000 + $439
• Boston (BOS) to London (LHR) from 14,000 + $486
• New York (JFK) to London (LHR) from 14,000 + $489

You can find the promotion page and all eligible routes here.

Upcoming Citi ThankYou Promotion

Citi will soon offer a 30% transfer bonus for Virgin Atlantic. That means that you can transfer 1,000 Citi ThankYou Points to receive 1,300 Virgin Atlantic miles.

This offer will run from February 19  through March 18, 2023. So you need to wait until Sunday to transfer your points and book these Virgin awards.

Conclusion

By stacking these promotions you should get a very good discount on the miles portion of these awards. But taxes and fees are still quite high.

A trip from New York (JFK) to Manchester (MAN) for example is normally priced at 20,000 + $439 in taxes and fees. During this Virgin sale, the miles portion goes down to 14,000. And if you’re taking advantage of the Citi ThankYou promotion, you would need to use less than 11,000 ThankYou points.
