25% Off Award Sale:

Virgin Atlantic is offering 25% off awards for Virgin Atlantic flights.

• Book by 9/17 at 7:59pm ET
• Travel by 12/31.
• Not valid on partner awards, such as Delta or El Al.

It’s always a good idea to search for awards as one-ways instead of a round-trip to find award availability more easily.

Virgin will resume flying to Tel Aviv on September 25th, and there are some nice bargains for Israel travel with this sale.

Virgin Atlantic points can be transferred from several currencies (see below) and never expire. Dates changes or cancellations cost $50 ($35 if originating in UK) or a forfeiture of taxes paid, whichever is lower.

Virgin does charge hefty fuel surcharges for Virgin flights, but there are workarounds to lower them, such as booking 2 one-ways instead of a round-trip as is pointed out below.

You may be able to get even lower rates by calling Virgin and asking for companion ticket pricing. Post a comment if you are successful with that.

Here are just a few sample deals using Virgin points, with off-peak saver award availability. Use the price calendar and these tips to find the cheapest dates.
