Virgin Atlantic Upper Class: North America to Europe (29k Virgin Points)<\/span><\/h2>\n
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club<\/a> switched to dynamic pricing in 2024, which often spells the elimination of a program's best sweet spots. However, there have been consistent deals for Virgin Atlantic\u2019s Upper Class at 29,000 points plus taxes and fees since the changeover<\/a>, primarily from the airline's East Coast gateways to the UK. Some examples include Boston (BOS) to London (LHR) and Atlanta (ATL) to Manchester (MAN).<\/p>\n

For example, American Express recently ran a 40% bonus<\/a>, which means you\u2019d only need 21,000 Membership Rewards<\/a> points to book this deal after the bonus. And Amex is just one of Virgin Atlantic's many transfer partners:<\/p>\n
