And did you know...

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
Premium Economy
Upper Class

Economy Light: 25%

Economy Classic: 50-150%

Economy Delight: 150%

Ticket type % of base flown miles	Gold bonus	Amount of points a Gold member will earn
Economy Light (T): 25%	60%	2,766
Economy Classic (O, N, X, Q, E): 50%	60%	5,531
