Earning points:
*This excludes any codeshare flights unless they are booked with a VS flight number. Points for these bookings will be credited according to the operating carrier, not the marketing carrier.
Please note: when booking a Delta Air lines marketed, Virgin Atlantic operated flight in A class, you will earn points as per Virgin Atlantic’s H class. Find out more about how many you will earn when booking this type of ticket.
Codeshare services that are marketed by Virgin Atlantic and operated by Delta Air lines also earn points. The points will be credited as per the operating carrier.
Points may only be earned on flights operated by Delta. Points earned retrospectively can only be claimed for up to 6 months after the date of travel. Points will be issued to Flying Club members when travelling in the qualifying international classes listed.
Tiers points will only apply if a flight qualifies for points.
If you're a member of one of our partner airlines' frequent flyer programmes, please note that you can only earn points in one scheme for any particular flight.
Additional points will not be earned for bookings that are subsequently upgraded to a higher class whereby an additional fare difference is paid.
