Any good tp runs on virgin from london/ europe?

Hi all

am looking to try and renew my gold card on virgin so need to do a decent tier point run from London/Dublin/Paris/Amsterdam etc in AUgust ideally around the bank holiday - does anyone know of any good upper class/delta one fare deals at the moment - I had seen LHR/LAS for £2100 a while back but that is now over £3000 so was seeking if anyone had any ideas - happy to travel to the West Coast of the US via JFK/BOS/MIA etc to maximise TPs on Delta/Virgin ... any advice gratefully received!

If you're able to get up to Manchester, VS are running MAN-ATL/JFK-ORD for £1,400 in Upper Class w/ DL first, availability appears to be year-round. (350 TPs)

Another option is DUB-ATL-MCO all on Delta which is currently going for £1,500 or so. (400 TPs).

Make sure to book before 1st Sept before the DL earning rate changes

You're welcome! just as an FYI - you can fly whenever you like as long as you book before Sept 1st to earn the current rates.

Important to note that this tier point earning rate is massively devalued after September 1st, so you'd need to book (not travel) before then.
