The Big Picture
We found direct flights to Europe this summer (May through June 2026) for as low as 6,000 points per person, non-stop in economy. These flights are with Virgin Atlantic to Manchester or London from both the East and West Coast. If England is not your final destination, it would provide a central location for you to reposition affordably and efficiently within Europe.
Examples of routes (priced per person one way):
- BOS, IAD, JFK to/from LHR = 6,000
- ATL, MCO to/from LHR, MAN = 7,500
- MIA, TPA to/from LHR = 7,500
- LAX, SFO, SEA to/from LHR= 9,000
- LAS to/from LHR, MAN = 9,000
While you can transfer directly from Chase, AMEX, Chase, Citi, Bilt and Wells Fargo 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.
Virgin Atlantic is known to hold award fares, so you are welcome to call Virgin Atlantic to hold the fare prior to transferring points.
All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers (with over 9 seats on most dates). Expect taxes to be ~$100 per person outbound and ~$300 per person returning.
