Virgin benefits would be networked across SkyTeam partners – many of whom fly short haul within Europe. I am sure that’s why the OP was suggesting exploring it as an alternative.
@Miltomatic HfP have yet to do articles comparing the best alternatives. For my part, I won’t at present renew Virgin Gold/SkyTeam Elite Plus beyond 31 March. But I will retain Silver/SkyTeam Elite which softens the blow on any occasion I might be unable to upgrade a work flight (I don’t fly economy for personal flights).
I need to do my sums on comparing Flying Blue with Virgin Flying Club re Tier Point earnings. Virgin you get TPs on reward flights, which I do say 4 a year, so that tip the balance for me towards sticking with Virgin Flying Club.
New to Head for Points?
