As we wrote about back on 10th July , Virgin Atlantic has unveiled the first update to its Flying Club loyalty programme. At that time, we noted that “a revamp is in the works to acknowledge long-time Virgin loyalists who may not travel frequently enough to reach elite tiers” - and that vision has now taken flight with the introduction of High Five, Virgin Atlantic’s newest way to say thank you to those who’ve stayed loyal over time.
