    On one flight?

    I’m getting quite confused on how is best to use these vouchers!

    Virgin vouchers are now worth either 75k points or 150k points (depending if you are a basic Red member or not) towards any seat on any flight. (But good luck finding a realistic reward seat on many flights)

    It can be redeemed on either an upgrade or a companion reward, whichever you prefer, either a round trip for yourself or two one-way flights on the same booking for yourself and a companion.

    Thanks for replying. So say for example I book and pay for 2 flights, one for me and 1 for my wife, 1 way to LAX in economy, and then want to use a companion voucher to upgrade the class, say it’s 20k points each to upgrade, can I use the companion voucher as it’s 40k (hence <75k)?

    Yes. The voucher would give you up to 75k points towards the amount needed for the upgrade; any more would need to come from your own points; you don’t receive any ‘change’ if the points cost is less than 75k.
