Virgin Points flight on Air France

[FREEFLIGHTS]

I have managed to secure two return Business class seats on AF from Manchester to CDG using some of our Virgin miles/points, questions are:-

1. Will this earn tier points and/or miles on our Virgin FF accounts?
2. Which lounge will we get sent to, A virgin Lounge or an Air France lounge in terminal 2 or will it be Starbucks with everybody else!!

Cheers

You may get tier points if you credit to virgin, because VS now count them for status but you won’t accrue miles on any award ticket.

You’ll probably end up in the 1903 lounge in T2 at MAN. If you’re not told so at check in, just follow the signs for Escape/1903 and present your boarding pass.

If you are flying from Manchester I suggest you stay at Starbucks. The lounges at MAN are pathetic.

Yeah, but the coffee is free in the lounge and you don’t have to queue for half an hour like you would at Starbucks 😉

Only redemptions on VS metal earn tier points on redemptions.
