Transfer Deal: Virgin Atlantic and its point-transfer partner, Amex Rewards, are once again offering a 30% points-transfer bonus deal, valid through December 31. To view the deal you need to login to your Amex Rewards account here.

Sample Savings: Los Angeles to Tokyo’s normal/everyday price can often be 400,000 when using United miles but if you use American Express’ points-to-miles transfer partnership 30% bonus deal with Virgin Atlantic the cost is 110,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles round-trip. So, you could transfer just 85,000 points for a round-trip. United Airlines charges 60,000 miles for economy.

NO MILES? NO PROBLEM

United is currently running a deal whereby miles can be acquired for as low as 2.2¢ each (includes taxes and processing fee), through a new, up to 70% bonus purchase promo, which runs through December 31, 2021.

Disclaimer:

Everybody knows how frequently airfares change (some estimates claim that there are up to 500,000 fare changes daily). Because that’s a few too many for First Class Flyer to keep up with, FCF cannot guarantee that all fares discussed will be available when you go to make a booking. Also, for the sake of quick and easy “executive summary” format, all fare rules and restrictions can’t possibly be included. Fares quoted usually include the average taxes and fees for the routes in the chart.
