Not every date has the lowest price, so check the one you want.
The catch is the $161.60 in fees, so compare it with a cash ticket before you book. Sometimes a cheap fare wins.
How to book:
1. Go to virginatlantic.com and sign in to Flying Club.
2. Choose to book with points and search your city to London Heathrow (LHR) on one of the dates above.
3. Check the points and fees before you move any points. Transfers can't be undone.
These numbers come from Seats.aero and still need checking on Virgin Atlantic before you transfer anything. Award seats come and go.
