Discover what’s waiting for you in each tier
We're making some changes
Your Flying Club benefits from 10 April 2018.
With the launch of our three new ways to fly in Economy, there’ll be a few changes to Flying Club benefits. The majority of your benefits will be exactly the same, and some will be even better.
Alert! Flying before 10 April 2018?
If you're flying in the next couple of weeks, then you'll still get the existing Flying Club benefits. You can have a look at them here.

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.
