VS have just announced they are completely re-vamping the Flying Club - https://corporate.virginatlantic.com...ard-seats.html

• From 30 October, every seat on a Virgin Atlantic operated flight will be made available for Flying Club members to purchase using their Virgin Points, including for upgrades.
• 
  
• A new Saver reward seat product will be launched for seats priced at or below today’s prices. These will include some of our lowest ever prices in points.
• 
  
• Saver reward seats will be available across thousands of flights, at the same price or lower than they are right now.
• 
  
• All vouchers issued today to credit card holders and to Gold tier members will be moving to a new Flying Club reward voucher.
• 
  
• The new voucher will remain redeemable for a Companion Seat or upgrade, and will be redeemable on any seat in any cabin for any customer.
• 
  
• The voucher will be valid up to a maximum of 75k points for Flying Club Red tier members, or 150k points for Flying Club Silver or Gold tier members based on status at the time of voucher redemption.

• Above these maximum amounts, customers can use their Virgin Points balances to top up the amount required, giving even more flexibility.
• 
  
• Virgin Red members will continue to be able to spend their points on Virgin Atlantic by joining Flying Club and linking their account, just as today.
• 
  
• The amount of Virgin Points earned on Upper Class tickets will increase by up to 50% and Premium tickets will increase by up to 75%, allowing customers to earn even more on Virgin Atlantic.
• 
  
• Between now and launch, customers will be able to book reward seats without any changes to pricing or availability.
  

This is a big thing which looks very good but, as always, the devil is in the detail.

Time will tell if this is a good thing for the punter, or yet another 'enhancement' that make the Flying Club even less appealing.
