Flying Club Silver membership changes

Virgin Atlantic Silver Flying Club membership will be even more rewarding.

We’ve made a few changes to help you earn tier points and Flying Club miles. So now you can reach your goals - and your dream destinations - even faster.

From June, your Silver tier bonus will increase from 25% to 50% of base flown miles, meaning you can reach rewards even quicker. If you choose Premium Economy in booking classes W or S, you’ll also earn an extra tier point (it’s gone up from 3 tier points to 4).

Plus you’ll earn an extra tier point when you book Upper Class in booking classes J or D, (6 instead of 5).

Silver renewal tier points are also changing, from 1 September 2011 you will be required to earn 15 tier points in your next membership year to maintain your status. If your current membership year ends 31 August 2011, you will require 10 tier points to renew your account. The subsequent membership year, commencing 01 September 2011, requires 15 tier points to retain Silver membership.

And once you become a Gold member, we’ll double the bonus miles you’ll earn on base flown miles from 50% to 100%!
