For TODAY ONLY, Virgin Atlantic has brought back its Golden Ticket game.
During today – and the website implies release will be staggered – Virgin Atlantic is adding 30 £1 Premium flights (its new name for Premium Economy) into its flight search system. However, these are totally random flights. We don’t know the dates or the destinations, so your chance of finding one is not huge.
Last time this offer ran, Virgin Atlantic was dropping big hints on its Twitter feed so you may want to keep an eye on that.
Slightly churlishly, Virgin Atlantic won’t pay your taxes and charges if you win. The prizes cost “£1 plus taxes, fees, charges and carrier imposed surcharges”. You can read the full rules here.
Here are the full rules:
A Golden Ticket will entitle the holder to purchase 1 adult Premium return flight for £1+ taxes, fees, charges and carrier imposed surcharges.
There are a total of 30 Golden Tickets being released in batches across a variety of our destinations throughout the day on 21 January 2019.
The Golden Tickets are for UK return flights on selected dates:
a) Round trips are permitted.
b) Round trips where the destination of the outward sector and the departure point of the return sector differ are not permitted.
c) One way trips are not permitted.
d) Trips including sectors on airlines other than Virgin Atlantic including codeshares are not permitted.
All destinations a maximum stay of 12 months is permitted and a minimum stay is 3 Nights. Stopovers and open-date returns are not permitted.
Once a booking has been confirmed:
a) Cancellations are not permitted;
b) No compensation and/or refund will be made available; and
c) Route or name changes are not permitted.
Flying Club miles, bonus miles and tier points are available on selected flights. Please check at time of booking.
If you’ve nothing else to do today than randomly flicking through the Virgin Atlantic reservation system (but check Twitter and possibly Facebook for clues), you will find full details here.
