Virgin Atlantic has introduced a new benefit for red tier members of the Flying Club frequent flyer programme, allowing them to board ahead of Economy Classic and Economy Light passengers on all Virgin Atlantic operated flights globally, starting from March 14.
Priority boarding for Red tier members will follow the existing hierarchy, with customers needing extra assistance, Upper Class passengers, Gold Card members, Premium customers, and Economy Delight passengers boarding first.
This new boarding benefit is aimed at enhancing the Flying Club program for Red tier members, offering additional perks at the start of their journeys with Virgin Atlantic.
In comparison, British Airways does not provide priority boarding for entry-level Blue tier members of its Executive Club, with priority boarding and business class check-in desk access available to Bronze members after reaching 300 tier points.
