For example, Cathay Pacific Diamond, United Airlines Premier 1K, or Lufthansa HON Circle are normally required to obtain Virgin Atlantic Gold. So while this promotion is described as \u201ceasier\u201d, the BA Bronze \u2192 Virgin Silver and BA Silver \u2192 Virgin Gold matches are actually quite well aligned in status level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flight booking can be either an award ticket or a cash ticket. However, to match to Gold, you must fly in Premium Economy or Upper Class. The cost is actually quite reasonable, as Virgin Atlantic\u2019s Premium Economy redemptions start from just 10,500 points one-way (on the London\u2013New York route). After a successful match, your account will be upgraded a few days before the flight, and the status will be valid for twelve months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virgin Atlantic Gold corresponds to <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">SkyTeam Elite Plus<\/mark><\/strong>. When flying airlines such as China Eastern, Xiamen Airlines, China Airlines, Air France\u2013KLM and Delta, you can enjoy benefits including free seat selection, priority check-in and boarding, additional baggage allowance and access to business class lounges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virgin Atlantic has a long-running status match program.
