Virgin does charge hefty fuel surcharges, but there are workarounds to lower than, such as booking 2 one-ways instead of a round-trip as is pointed out below.
Surcharges are much lower for flights originating in Israel, making for some real bargains for one-way or round-trip departures from there!
Here are just a few sample deals using Virgin points. Rates are rounded and Citi points must be transferred in increments of 1,000.

But their charging you to sign a seat, i booled today and they refuse to give a free seat
If you’re flying with kids, file a DOT complaint.
Same as BA. VS Silver = BA bronze both get free seat selection 7 days prior however everyone else gets at checkin.
Keep in mind thar Virgin Atlantic has 50% off fof 1 companions mileage ticket
Ive done it must call and works with fixed award chart not at promo rates
I got the companion discount on a sale price.
What does this mean and how do I do it? I’m looking to book for myself and family to London for the end of December
You need to call them and ask for the Companion pricing
Pleas give more details about this
Basically if 2 people are flying then you shud call in and ask for companion fare they basically give you 50% off the miles on the 2nd ticket (works for 2,4,6,8 etc..)
It’s a discount they add , sometimes you gotta talk to 2 different people to get it but usually works
Discount not showing for mid-December
Route/date?
JFK- TLV 12/18/23 (stop in London)
Looks like 12/9/23-1/3/24 has peak pricing for that route.
It’s still 30% off through 12/31, but it’s off the peak rate.
Oh! Thanks!
You mean 25% off
Correct
I literally a week ago booked tickets from London to TLV with virgin, is it worth cancelling and rebooking? Worth asking for them to match current prices?
