Fly Virgin Atlantic Nonstop to London for Summer 2026

We’ve uncovered wide award availability on nonstop Virgin Atlantic flights from the U.S. to London Heathrow (LHR)—including fares in both Premium Economy and Business Class throughout the summer travel season. Departure airports include New York (JFK), Washington D.C. (IAD), Boston (BOS), Atlanta (ATL), Miami (MIA), Tampa (TPA), and Los Angeles (LAX).

Award Pricing:

• Premium Economy: 10,500–32,500 points, taxes & fees $238 outbound / $550 return
• Business Class: 29,000–50,000 points, taxes & fees $581 outbound

We found tons of Premium Economy space—with fares as low as 10,500 points and strong availability throughout summer 2026. While some business class award space is available from the U.S. to London (LHR), we didn’t include return availability since those flights carry nearly $1,000 in taxes and fees.

While Virgin Atlantic redemptions carry higher taxes and fees, the low mileage rates—and current 30% Citi → Virgin Atlantic transfer bonus (through October 18, 2025)—can make these redemptions an exceptional value. To calculate the required points with the bonus, simply divide the redemption cost by 1.3. That means Premium Economy drops from 10,500 to just 8,000 points, and Business Class falls from 29,000 to only 22,300 points.

You can transfer points directly from Chase, American Express, Citi, Bilt, or Wells Fargo to Virgin Atlantic. Capital One is partnered with Virgin Red instead, but you can easily link your Virgin Red and Virgin Atlantic accounts to use your Capital One miles as usual when booking these flights.
