The Big Picture
We’re seeing excellent economy award availability from the West Coast to Europe for just 9,000–15,000 points each way, bookable through Virgin Atlantic. Departures are available from DEN, LAS, LAX, PHX, SEA, SAN, SFO, and SLC to major European hubs including Amsterdam (AMS), Paris (CDG), London (LHR), and Manchester (MAN). Flights are operated by Air France, KLM, and Virgin Atlantic, with direct options and 4+ seats available on many dates from April through December 2026.
Taxes and fees run approximately $109–$163 outbound and $280–$330 on the return, which is typical for Virgin Atlantic bookings. Despite the higher fees, the mileage pricing is exceptionally low for transatlantic travel, especially given the wide availability across much of 2026.
This deal gets even better with a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic from Citi through April 18, 2026. To calculate your effective cost, divide the redemption rate by 1.3, bringing 9,000-point awards down to ~7,000 points and 15,000-point awards down to ~11,600 points each way—an outstanding value for flights to Europe.
Booking tip: Given the higher taxes and fees, consider paying with a credit card that earns bonus points on airfare or helps you meet a sign-up bonus, maximizing the overall value of this redemption.
