On October 30th, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club has introduced an exciting update for travelers looking to make the most of their points — Saver reward seats, offering some of the lowest redemption rates ever seen. This new type of fare makes it more accessible than ever to book flights using your Flying Club points.

Here’s everything you need to know about these new Saver reward seats, including pricing, availability, and seasonal variations.

What Are Saver Reward Seats?

Saver reward seats are Flying Club’s new lowest-price award tickets, available on thousands of flights across their network. With one-way redemptions starting as low as 6,000 points plus £35 in carrier-imposed surcharges (for example, from London to New York in Economy Classic), these seats represent incredible value for frequent flyers.

However, the price and availability of these Saver reward seats vary based on demand, and they aren’t guaranteed on every flight or in every cabin.
