Elite members have the opportunity to earn OnePass miles toward rewards much faster than other members. Each Elite level receives a mileage bonus in addition to actual flight miles earned:

125% mileage bonus for Platinum Elite members
100% mileage bonus for Gold Elite members
50% mileage bonus for Silver Elite members


An Elite mileage bonus is earned by Elite members every time they travel with a qualifying paid fare on these participating airlines and partners:

((((nw, dl, as, and so on and then what we want to know))))


But what you want to know is right there:

Calculated against the actual flight miles of each segment flown, an Elite mileage bonus is earned by Elite members every time they travel with a qualifying paid fare on these participating airlines and partners:

Air Europa
Alaska Airlines
Amtrak (select routes)
Azteca Airlines
British European (flyBE.)
Continental Airlines
Continental Connection (Gulfstream International and CommutAir)
Continental Express
Continental Micronesia
Copa Airlines
Hawaiian Airlines (interisland flights only)
Horizon Air
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
Northwest Airlines
Northwest Airlink
SNCF/TGV (Continental flights connecting at Charles de Gaulle)
Continental code-share flights operated by other airlines (ticketed as Continental) excluding Virgin Atlantic flights

Elite members also may earn Elite mileage bonuses on Delta Air Lines, Delta Shuttle and Delta Connection flights (excluding Delta Song flights and Delta Connection flights operated by American Eagle). Bonuses for these airlines are as follows:

100% mileage bonus for Platinum and Gold Elite members
25% mileage bonus for Silver Elite members



I don't see Virgin mentioned anywhere in this page so I guess they are not getting any bonuses. If I had a doubt about this, I would pick up the phone and call - not rely on the calculator to tell me what the detailed information page doesn't.

As far as the calculator, I guess it can be more accurate to the little details.
