DEAL OF THE WEEK
This week, Virgin Atlantic celebrated their 40th birthday and so decided to share the excitement by offering some discounts.
Whatās the deal?
You can save up to Ā£99 off Economy, Ā£199 off Premium and Ā£299 off Upper Class when you use the code FORTY (terms and conditions apply).
But what about reward flights?
Ah yes, if you collect Virgin Points - their loyalty scheme ācurrencyā - then thereās a great deal for you too! You can save a huge 40% off reward seats (terms and conditions apply). But remember, youāll still need to pay the taxes.
When do you need to book by?
By 23:59 (GMT) on Monday 24th June - so you donāt have long to jump on it!
Have I been tempted by anything?
Good question, Iām so glad you askedā¦ š I have built up a few points and so Iām quite tempted to book a PREMIUM seat to New York in the summer.
It would cost 33k points and Ā£536 in taxesā¦ Do you think I should do it??! Vote in the poll below!
Oooh and email me back here to let me know if you end up booking anything š
Hi mum Iām on the telly šŗ
