DEAL OF THE WEEK
This week, Virgin Atlantic celebrated their 40th birthday and so decided to share the excitement by offering some discounts.
What’s the deal?
You can save up to £99 off Economy, £199 off Premium and £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 ‘currency’ - then there’s a great deal for you too! You can save a huge 40% off reward seats (terms and conditions apply). But remember, you’ll still need to pay the taxes.
When do you need to book by?
By 23:59 (GMT) on Monday 24th June - so you don’t have long to jump on it!
Have I been tempted by anything?
Good question, I’m so glad you asked… 😂 I have built up a few points and so I’m quite tempted to book a PREMIUM seat to New York in the summer.
It would cost 33k points and £536 in taxes… 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 😊
Hi mum I’m on the telly 📺
Okay for once I actually have been on the telly 😆
Last week was my first time on Lorraine - live from the Sea Life London Aquarium 🐟
I also wrote a piece for The i all about finding a bargain for summer holidays here in the UK!
And that’s a wrap!

We were in Bristol last weekend and I spotted this Flixbus parked up and so made James take a few photos of me with it because I thought it would be ‘nice for the website’ 😆 THE FUN WE HAVE!!!
