Double Miles on Every Virgin Atlantic Little Red Flight

Virgin Atlantic have launched Virgin Atlantic Little Red, their UK domestic service offering flights from Manchester, Edinburgh and Aberdeen to London and back the other way. It is designed to connect the UK outer regions with their London transatlantic service and compete directly with British Airways after their takeover of BMI.

The flights will launch on 31 March in Manchester, 5 April in Edinburgh and 9 April in Aberdeen, with 26 flights per day between London Heathrow and the new destinations.

Virgin Atlantic have a loyalty program called Flying Club. Flying Club members will earn double miles on every Virgin Atlantic Little Red flight taken between 31 March 2013 and 30 June 2013. Full details are available here.
