Virgin does charge hefty fuel surcharges, but there are workarounds to lower than, such as booking 2 one-ways instead of a round-trip as is pointed out below.
Surcharges are much lower for flights originating in Israel, making for some real bargains for one-way or round-trip departures from there!

Those who brought Chase points with an additional 30%, can now actually get another 33%?
Why not?
link to book is coming out fuzzy
I tried to transfer from Cap1. There seems to be 2 types of accounts, Virgin Red and Virgin Atlantic. Cap1 only transfers to Virgin Red and I can’t seem to get my VA account to link.
They can be linked.
you need to login to virgin red to get your virgin red id (under profile) – it is a combination of 4 short words. Then put that in where it asks for user id. Points will show on your virgin atlantic account as well.
i dont see these pricing do i need to create an account to see this sale prices?
Not working. Showing regular redemption amount
dates for low season? (where ioffer apply)
anyone success for Passover? I was not.
$50 cancellation fee per reservation or per ticket?
Does virgin fly to Israel these days?
TLV to LHR is 7300 points, not 6000 as mentioned.
I booked family of 9 for peasach TLV/NYC for a total of 156,000 points, I Stacked this deal with the companion discount, and originally transferred with 30% bonus (so affectively I only used about 120k points) Plus the reg surcharge, good deal?
