Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Wing

The Best Flights I've Booked With Points and Miles—And How You Can Too

"Virgin Atlantic Flying Club offers low points rates and decent award availability on its flights between London Heathrow and several US cities. Like many Swifties, my best friend and I flew across the Atlantic for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. We scored standing-room-only seats and ended up just 10 feet from the stage. To ride the high of our trip, we redeemed our points for business class tickets, which Virgin aptly calls “Upper Class,” for our flight back home. Our experience began with a private security entrance at Heathrow, which quickly led us to the Virgin Clubhouse. Though we’d be well-fed onboard, we couldn’t resist a hearty meal of fish and chips, followed by freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. We flew in back-to-back window seats on the Airbus A350, enjoyed afternoon tea in the onboard lounge, and were even gifted a set of Virgin Atlantic playing cards by the friendly flight attendants."
