Virgin Atlantic’s Epic Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sale

Pardon the language before the holidays, but some sales do just make you go “holy $#!t”. When looking through the Virgin Atlantic Black Friday Sale, that was the only way to accurately sum up the offer.

This year, Virgin Atlantic is leaning into Black Friday, with deals including 50% off flights using points from everywhere Virgin flies, to round trip economy flights from £239, and just about every single Virgin destination in Upper Class for £999 round trip, all in.

The US now has Upper Class deals too, for $2000 round trip from New York, LA, Miami or San Francisco to London.

Oh, and premium deals start at £449 round trip. That’s pretty much unheard of pricing. There’s even additions like free name changes, waived fees and other perks…

Best Virgin Atlantic Black Friday Deals

Each Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday bring many delights, but these are the lowest offers we’ve ever seen from Virgin Atlantic. Sub £1000 pricing to West Coast USA, Caribbean or Cape Town is the stuff of dreams, and you can actually book these insane offers, during this limited time window.

Here’s a few stand out – OMG – offers from London, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast. All these offers are for travel up to August 31st, 2021. Later dates are worth checking too, since fares will differ from city to city. Update: some cities drop off at these prices after June, 2021. South Africa remains wide open from January at these prices.

Oh, and Hawaii is also included for £999! Sold out.

UK Offers To Caribbean, Asia, Africa…

So, what about booking flexibility? In previous years, the drawback with great fares was always massive change fees, if you needed to swap dates. Here’s what Virgin has to say for this year…

Customers booking with Virgin Atlantic can rest assured when buying flights this November with the airline’s flexible booking policy. Customers may change the dates of their travel up to two times as well as change names once, with the associated fees waived, though fare difference may apply.

Looking at the actual policy, it’s actually even better than it sounds. If you need to change travel dates, for travel up to August 31st, 2021, Virgin are not only waiving change fees, but covering some fare difference too.

If you find a new fare within £60 fo the original for Economy, £120 for Premium or £350 for Upper, they’ll not only waive change fees, but fare difference too.

If your £999 Upper Class deal needs to be changed and the new fare is £1500, you’d just pay £150, because Virgin is covering up to £350 in fare difference on top of all the change fees. If the new fare was £1349, you’d pay nothing more to change flights to new dates, as long as you travel by August 31st. You can book all offers here.

50% Off All Points Redemptions Too

You’ve got points, but perhaps not typically enough to move up to a better cabin? Today, that changes. Virgin is offering 50% off the standard number of points you’d need to use, in every cabin, to and from everywhere they fly. It’s that simple.

That means trips between New York and London would cost 43,000 points round trip in Upper Class, rather than 95,000. One ways are totally fine too. You must book these offers by November 30th, for travel up to October 20th, 2021.

Here’s a great example with Barbados…

As you might expect, sadly taxes and fees on these flights aren’t also discounted 50%, but with the mileage savings, they can represent extremely good value. Of course, it’s just really hard to pass up the cash fares above, but if you’ve got points to burn, this is as good as it gets.

Sale! It Doesn’t Get Much Better

Last week, Virgin announced quarantine free getaways for winter sun. This week, they’re offering the best pricing anyone can ever hope for, in every cabin, for travel well into 2021. By all accounts, travel should be much more normal by mid year, and hopefully before, as vaccines make their way into distribution and highest risk groups are taken care of.

One thing is for sure, Virgin Upper Class is always fun, and it’s stayed that way through covid-19 with the same glassware, full meals, full wine bottles and all that jazz. If you’ve wanted to try it, or want to enjoy it again, this sale is an incredible opportunity to do so.
