As a Gold member you'll still get all the benefits of Red and Silver, plus all of this:
Free exit row seat options in Economy Classic
Upper Class Check In and priority boarding, regardless of the cabin you’re flying
Clubhouse access every time you fly with us or Delta Air Lines® for you and one guest
Earn Virgin Points and Tier Points with Virgin Atlantic Holidays
You'll earn 4 Virgin Points for every £ you spend with Virgin Holidays and 20 Tier Points for every £500, up to a maximum of 400 Tier Points per booking
Earn a Flying Club reward voucher when you renew Gold status by earning 1,000 Tier Points in your membership year
As a Gold member, you can nominate a lucky Flying Club member of your choice to enjoy Silver membership status. And if you’re having a little one we will cover any Tier Points that are outstanding to renew your Gold status from the date of when your parental/adoption 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.
How many points will you earn on Virgin Atlantic flights
If you're a Gold member, you'll receive the same number of points as a Red member plus a 60% bonus. So you just need to apply the ticket percentage to the base flown miles, and then add another 30%. This is what that might look like:

Economy Light: 25%
Economy Classic: 50-150%
