Such a helpful video! We are flying to Florida next year with Virgin for our honeymoon! Working desperately to build up my points (only on 25k at the moment) to get an upgrade so I have Virgin red and linked up my Tesco club card which seems to be boosting it up quite a bit! Also tried asking friends/family if they had any Virgin points they’d kindly gift us with no luck 😂 thanks for the helpful tips in this video!

So glad it was helpful, and congrats! Hope the honeymoon is special and you get that upgrade! Keep an eye out for promotions from Virgin, they sometimes run ‘half price upgrades with points’ type promo’s. Where are you flying from?

They ran a promo earlier this year, so keep an eye open! At Manchester there’s the 1903 lounge - nice if you don’t get the upgrade as it’s the lounge Virgin use for their Upper Class passengers, but you can pay to access (I’ll have a video on this in September). they’re also opening a private terminal at Manchester later this year which you’d be able to book to make your trip a bit more special. It’s called Aether if you want to take a look! The upgrade is definately doable though if you’re not heading away until next year, just keep doing what you’re doing!

@@theharkinstvthis is all such good information! I’ll definitely be watching your video in September as that sounds like something we could do to make it more special. This new terminal sounds interesting! Thanks so much ☺️

Great video, I agree with all points made. Air Miles are a scam for gullable idiots.
@theharkinstv21 күн бұрын
Thanks, glad you like the video! Not sure what you mean regarding air miles as we’ve had nothing but positive experiences from them and it’s allowed us more trips than we would have. Earning without flying is definitely the way to go in our opinion for those vacationing infrequently!

Hi, really helpful video. On the fee for the upgrade was that c£200 per person on top of the points?
@theharkinstvАй бұрын
Thank you! Yes it was per person. A little annoying having to spend money when you’ve got the points to upgrade, but well worth it still in my opinion. The fee will differ depending on your destination.
@garethedgar9607Ай бұрын
@@theharkinstv Thank you very much, I know it another dip into the pocket but like you say it’s not like a cash upgrade so still winning.
@theharkinstvАй бұрын
And £200 is far cheaper than the cash cost of the same upgrade. We wouldn’t be able to upgrade our trips without using miles/points, it just wouldn’t be affordable. Plus Virgin often do offer periods, for example reduced points required for upper class upgrades.

Man! You just unlocked memories within me from like '92 or '93, when I was 8 or 9. When the train emerged into the light the first time, I had genuine tingles down my back, thank you dude, that was so cool!!! 🙏

How do you book a flight with klm using virgin points?
@theharkinstv4 ай бұрын
To use your Virgin points with KLM book with Virgin Atlantic and select to ‘show price in points’ when searching for flights. The options should give you all available flights, including those with KLM and other Sky Team member airlines. Hope this helps. Planning on going anywhere nice? :)

If i already have the free virgin credit card and wanted to change to the premium card would I be eligible for the large points bonus you get after the first purchase?
@theharkinstv2 ай бұрын
You’d only be eligible for the sign-up bonus if you cancelled your previous VA credit card over 6 months ago unfortunately. If you’ve not already utilised the AMEX sign-up bonus it could be worth cancelling your VA Reward card, get the AMEX bonus, and then apply for the VA Reward+ after 6 months.
