Virgin Atlantic Is a London-based carrier, I recently posted on the YT channel the review of the flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles and it is one of those companies that definitely has an edge and this Status Match initiative, designed primarily for the disgruntled British Airways (but not only).

In addition to this to make this campaign even more interesting 5 lucky winners, in addition to getting the status, will also receive 1M of Flying Points. I for example with VS miles have booked, and flown, aboard the ANA's First Class one of the most expensive airline tickets in the world.

Virgin Points never expire and can be used with Virgin Atlantic and the 18 global members of the SkyTeam alliance or all partner carriers, including non-Skyteam.

What is a status match

Lo status match is a procedure that allows travelers to transfer their status level from a competing airline's loyalty program to another airline. If you have a high status in another airline's program, Virgin Atlantic offers you the opportunity to obtain an equivalent status in their program Flying Club. This is the perfect way to take advantage of premium benefits with Virgin Atlantic as well, without having to start from scratch.
