free Flying Club miles from Friends referral Bonus

Tell your friends about Flying Club and if they join, they’ll soon be earning you bonus miles when they fly with us around the world. If you’re already a member, all you need to do is send them an email. As soon as they sign up to Flying Club and share the Virgin Atlantic experience on their first flight, bonus miles will be added to your account.
This offer is only open to existing Flying Club members who enrol non Flying Club members into the programme through Miles More Friends. Both the current member and the new member must be at least 12 years of age or over to qualify for Miles More Friends bonuses.
Your friend doesn't get left out of the bonuses either. Not only will they enjoy the benefits of being a Flying Club member, but they’ll also earn up to 3,000 bonus miles, when they take their first flight with us.

For every person you refer who joins Flying Club, you will earn miles on the basis of the cabin in which they complete their first round trip with Virgin Atlantic: the following miles will be awarded: Economy (Y,B,L,M,V,Q,X,N,O) 2,000 Bonus miles, Premium Economy (W,S,K,H) 5,000 miles and Upper Class (J,D,R,Z) 10000 Bonus miles. Miles will only be credited once travel has been completed, not at time of booking. Miles cannot be earned on any free or reduced rate tickets including discounted, without limitation, reward travel, free upgrade and travel agent or industry discounts, Miles Plus Money, infant and complimentary tickets. Travel on codeshare flights and partner airlines will not qualify for miles.
