Best Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Redemptions
Ranked by cents-per-point above our 1.33¢ baseline. These are the redemptions worth targeting when you have points to spend, but availability is the binding constraint, not points balance. Verify saver space before transferring.

ANA First Class to Japan via Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
72,500 Virgin Atlantic points one-way for ANA First Class (The Suite) from the US to Japan, among the highest CPP redemptions available anywhere. The existing ana-virgin-japan-biz entry covers the business rate (47,500-55,000); this is the step up to First. No fuel surcharges apply. Transfer 1:1 from Amex MR, Chase UR, Citi TY, Bilt, or Wells Fargo (Capital One is not a Virgin Atlantic Flying Club partner; its Virgin tie is to Virgin Red, a separate program). Booking requires calling Virgin Atlantic (no online booking for ANA); find available space first on United.com or other Star Alliance programs as a search proxy. Availability is tight; check 355 days out or within 30 days of departure.

ANA Business to Japan via Virgin Atlantic
52,500 Virgin Atlantic points for ANA business (The Room) one-way from the Western US/Canada (YVR, SEA, SFO, LAX) to Tokyo; 60,000 from Central and Eastern US (ORD, IAH, IAD, JFK). The old 47,500-55,000 range no longer books; 52,500 is the current Western floor. Transfer 1:1 from Amex MR, Chase UR, or Citi. ANA partner space is tight; saver opens around 30 days out.

Reality check:The CPP numbers above are bookable floors when saver space exists, not guaranteed prices. Big balance ≠ access to premium cabins. Plug your dates into the program's search tool first, find space, then transfer.
