Calculator: How Much Are Virgin Atlantic Points Worth?

Virgin Atlantic points value

How much are Virgin Atlantic points worth? Virgin points value averages anywhere from 0.5p to 1.5p for economy flights and as much as 2p each for First and Business class flights. This means that 10,000 points are worth anywhere from £50 to £200 depending on how you redeem them.

With Virgin Atlantic, premium cabin flights or more expensive itineraries generally offer better value for your points. It's a good strategy to determine your own minimum acceptable redemption value and aim to redeem points only for flights or upgrades that meet or exceed that threshold.

Here's our breakdown on Virgin Points Value:

Virgin Atlantic Flights

Virgin Points offer the best value when redeemed for flights with Virgin Atlantic and their airline partners.

The value of Virgin Points for economy class redemptions can vary significantly, ranging from 0.5p to 1.5p per point. The exact value depends on various factors, such as the route, the availability of award space, and the timing of the booking.

For premium cabins like First and Business class, however, the value tends to be much more predictable and consistently higher, often exceeding 2p per point. These cabins provide more value for points due to the higher cost of the tickets, which makes the miles worth more when used for upgrades or redemptions in these classes.

Popular High-Value Redemption Options:

• Virgin Atlantic: Fly between the U.S. and Europe
• Delta Airlines: Fly Delta One Suites
• All Nippon Airways (ANA): First Class to Japan
• Virgin Australia: Travel within Australia
• South African Airways: Travel within Africa
• Air New Zealand: Travel To Oceania From New Zealand
