While you can transfer directly from Chase, AMEX, and Citi to Virgin Atlantic, Capital One is actually only partners with Virgin Red (not Virgin Atlantic). This is no problem as you can link your Virgin Red account to your Virgin Atlantic account, and then you will be able to book your flights on Virgin Atlantic using your Capital One points as usual.

 All of the dates below have confirmed availability for the lower price through Europe for at least 2 passengers with up to 9 seats available. If your party is larger than 9 people, call Virgin Atlantic to check availability and book.
