As per e-mail from Virgin from few min ago:


From the moment you close your front door to the moment you arrive at your destination, our Upper Class experience is designed to make you smile. Register and book
Upper Class between 20 September 2013 and 20 October 2013 (for flights up to and including 28 February 2014) and we’ll make you smile three times more. (Terms and Conditions apply)

You’ll be eligible for 2 complimentary return flights on Virgin Atlantic Little Red, our fabulous UK domestic service. This new service offers multiple daily flights, connecting London to Manchester, Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

Your 2 complimentary return flights on Virgin Atlantic Little Red will be awarded after your 1st and 2nd Upper Class sectors flown, capped at 2 rewards and subject to availability.

We’ll give you an additional 50% bonus miles (up to and including 4 sectors) on top of the standard miles you would earn. Who knows where those extra miles will take you. No matter where you decide to go in the world, you can quickly and easily redeem your Virgin Atlantic reward flights online or over the phone.

You’ll also earn 2 extra tier points for each sector flown (up to and including 4 sectors). These extra points could help you move up to the next tier quicker. And of course the higher you go, the better the benefits.

NOTE: Ofcourse when registering it doesn't work :o) v( Error500 page after filling in the form. Anyone more luck?

Edit: Worked in Firefox. IE didn't for me.

Interesting. I received the email and successfully registered but was disappointed since I've already got two return flights booked within the offer time period, and aren't likely to be booking any others. Fingers crossed my existing bookings may be eligible then!

As I remember the similar-ish offer this time last year did include existing bookings, but then I seem to recall that was all-round more generous.

Tempting, but I think I'll stick with my plan to fly BA from LCY on my next NY trip, to make sure I keep my silver status there. Still, going to register anyway, as will probably be heading somewhere else by February.

Not that I can ever imagine that I'd use the LR flights...

I'm having a virgin flight in 10 days in uc so will report back then if I see it showing up. If someone else flies earlier feel free to post it too :)

I wondered if we'd see anything like last September's bonus and hey presto here it is - albeit not quite as generous.

Perhaps one of the lovely VS staffers who post here could clarify whether the offer also applies to existing bookings within the offer timeframe? I've got an UC return booked over New Year so it would be lovely if it qualified!

I have just registered for the offer, let's see if yesterday's UC flight is valid for it.
Last years offer got me AU for the first time, I have just renewed this trip but the extra miles will come in handy.

It's interesting that a bonus TP offer has come around again. Not as generous as last year, but better than nothing. :)

True - that's why I said less generous! :)

Last year's bonus scheme was pretty good, mind you. Wasn't it 12 extra TPs if you qualified for all of them?

Yep, this is only 8 if you qualify for all of them - won't look a gift horse in the mouth though. Complimentary flights on LR are quite cool - I wonder if that will mean I finally get to fly it :P
