Hi, I hope you can help me out choosing which flyer programme I’ll be better with. I’ll use the points for flights, upgrades or holidays with the family.

I’ll generally be flying from Norwich into AMS and onwards across Europe around 15 return trips a year in economy. With a few flights between countries mid week.

Long haul around 6 times a year, typically to most continents in business, either out of Norwich or London if fares are hugely different but my preference will be Norwich.

I also have a virgin flying credit card that tends to amass points of around 30,000 a year. And the fact you can use points from virgin to book virgin holidays is quite appealing.

it seems fuel surcharges are the problem with Virgin versus KLM generally. But you tend to need more miles than KLM? And I may get more tier points from Virgin (travelling KLM as they treat each leg as a seperate journey?) I’m slightly confused as to the best option! Please help!

thanks
phil
