Richard X Moore, Director of Loyalty Rewards at Virgin Red, says: “This is a fantastic way for members to boost their points balance before the end of the year and get to their chosen reward even quicker.  We're delighted to offer these fantastic bonuses for a limited time, especially at a time where Virgin Points may help members enjoy products or experiences, they may not have been able to do otherwise." 

There are hundreds of rewards to choose from across both Flying Club and Virgin Red. Whether it’s a return flight* to New York City or the Caribbean, a pair of tickets to see your favourite artist perform from the Virgin Red Room at Manchester’s AO Arena, a Top Gun experience with Virgin Experience Days, or a Virgin Voyages cruise from Miami – there’s a reward for everyone.   

*Reward flights are subject to availability. Taxes, fees and carrier-imposed surcharges apply, will depend on choice of cabin, departure airport, date(s) of travel and destination and are subject to change.
