And did you know...

If you're expecting a little one, we will cover any Tier Points that are outstanding to renew your Silver status from the date of when your parental/adoption leave starts. Just get in touch with our customer centre.

Staying Silver

Earn at least 400 Tier Points in a year to stay in Silver and as a treat from us, you’ll find 2,000 extra Virgin Points in your account when you renew.

How many points will you earn on Virgin Atlantic flights

If you're a Silver member, you'll receive the same number of points as a Red member, plus a 30% 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	Silver bonus	Amount of points a Silver member will earn
Economy Light (T): 25%	30%	2,247
Economy Classic (O, N, X, Q, E): 50%	30%	4,494
Economy Classic (M, U, L): 100%	30%	8,988
Economy Classic (R, B, Y): 150%	30%	13,482
