Why we love Travel Tuesday
“At Virgin Red, we know that travel experiences create lasting memories,” said Andrea Burchett, Chief Loyalty Officer, Virgin Red. “This Travel Tuesday, we’re making it easier for members to bring those experiences to life whether that’s exploring a new destination, revisiting a favorite place, or sharing the gift of travel with someone special. It’s about helping people get closer to the moments that matter most.”
Members are already making magic happen. After first tipping into the program, Carl Cheng of Austin used a Buy Points offer to take his first cruise as an adult, turning a Mediterranean Virgin Voyages sailing into a memorable getaway and even inspiring future plans, including an upcoming partner-airline trip to Japan. In Los Angeles, Nick Collins regularly tops up his balance so he and his wife can upgrade their long-haul Virgin Atlantic flights from LA to London during busy periods like Christmas, transforming essential family travel into a seamless Upper Class experience that feels like part of the holiday itself.
Whether it’s a weekend escape with Virgin Hotels, a journey abroad with Virgin Atlantic, a Caribbean adventure with Virgin Voyages, or a bucket-list trip with Virgin Limited Edition, Travel Tuesday is your chance to turn Virgin Points into unforgettable experiences. Earned, gifted, bought or topped up – Virgin Points can take you there.
