Gold member partner airline benefits
From miles to lounges, as a Gold member you'll also enjoy extras when you fly with these airlines partners:
And did you know...
As a Gold member, you can pool your miles when you link up to nine other flyers to your household account, or nominate a lucky Flying Club member of your choice to enjoy Silver membership status. And if you’re having a baby we will cover any tier points that are outstanding to renew your Gold status from the date of when your maternity leave starts. Just get in touch with us.
Staying Gold
Earning at least 1,000 Tier Points in a year will renew your Gold status, so as an extra reward for staying Gold, you'll be able to treat someone to a companion ticket. And if you’ve been a Gold member for ten consecutive years and earned 7,500 Tier Points on Virgin Atlantic flights in that time, you’ll be made a Gold member for life.
