Hi

My friend and I are travelling in April, he does not have a flying club account, can I use my details on his booking?
Suspect not!

Thanks

Depends on the purpose... you can use your miles or upgrade vouchers on his booking if you want, but sadly you cannot earn TPs or miles on his flight.

As he isn't a member, you can refer him though and grab some bonus miles after he's taken his first flight.

No.

You can only collect miles in your own right not and not from other people even if they are on your booking.

OK, thanks for the prompt response.

What happens if you did put your FC number on someone else's booking?

There doesn't seem to be anything to prevent it? Knowing VS IT I always suspected they would just post the miles to the FC number on the booking and say no more about it?

It's a very big risk - see here - http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/gb/en/fl ... fraud.html

Any breach of these Flying Club Terms or other requirements contained on our website may result in denial of travel and/or redemption of Rewards and cancellation of all Miles, Rewards and termination of Programme membership. We will act reasonably in exercising our rights under this paragraph.

Think that's pretty clear.

Even Virgin's IT may be capable of reconciling the name of the passenger with the name of the FC account holder.

Or maybe I'm being overly generous to the hamsters.

For the reasons that Nick stipulated I wouldn't want to try it, but my suspicion stands that it would work, and you would probably have to be doing it multiple times before it flagged!

I think I tried this & at the booking page it said flying club number already in use - or something like that.
That was on a booking for 2 people - it may work if done as separate bookings
