Just organising one now based on this.
Had a trip in mind that I was going to book with airfare and one night with VS Hols then the rest direct.
Now the deal’s on, more of that to VS Hols and less direct.

£4,126 should net me 160 TPs plus 100 on the flight plus the bonus ones for over £4k, plus companion gets Silver (useless to her, mind).

This may be a daft question but does this only apply to new bookings or existing ones.

Here’s what I’ve learned today:

– double TPs applies when you book a VS Holiday with VS flights
– existing bonus VS Hols TPs still exist (ie 20 per £500) – for now
– bookings worth £4k+ booked between 13/03 and 30/09 receive 200 extra TPs for lead booker
– Silver for everyone in part if travelling J, else lead book receives Silver if travelling W or Y and £4k+
– change and cxn. fees do not apply toward £4k spend, but TFS seems to
– booking must contain car and/or hotel for at least three days

Not a daft question. Haven’t seen a canonical answer – would imagine new only, but who knows…

Existing earn 20 TPs per £500 has now been dissolved in favour of this.

Also new is that existing Golds can book two holidays “flying Upper Class” to retain. Will see if I can get clarification on whether this is J rtn or if o/w suffices.

I have two holidays at VLE Ulusaba safari lodge this year. I booked flights with Virgin Atlantic and booked Ulusaba directly with the Lodge. Will any of these benefits accrue with these bookings? Impossible to find a Virgin email address to which I can send this query.

This deal is for VAH bookings so your trip won’t qualify if you booked the two things separately. Even if you had done it all via VAH, you’d be on 20 TPs per £500 spend, not the new offer.
