Flight using Virgin points – Shanghai to Beijing

[BrianN]

Hi

Can anyone advise a way of booking a flight in China from Shanghai to Beijing using Virgin points?

I’ve checked via Virgin and nothing but maybe there is a workaround booking via another airline?

I was going to take the high speed train but apparently there is a luggage allowance of 20kg per person whereas we would have luggage of around 28kg each across all our bags.

Thanks, Brian

China Eastern is your best bet when looking at SkyTeam member airlines. You can, theoretically, use Virgin Points on them. The chart for CE redemptions is at https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/flying-club/airline-partners/skyteam/china-eastern.html. You’ll need to call VS to book.

The CE website is straightforward to use, and there are multiple SHA/PVG-PEK-PKX departures a day on A333s, B777s and A320s.
