Award Deal — The Details

Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is going to be your key to scoring these great KLM lie-flat business class seats to Amsterdam.

The best availability is mostly from Atlanta, Chicago and Washington, D.C., but there are rare dates available from some other cities as well.

Once you have an idea of the route and dates you want to book, head over to Virgin Atlantic to search for your flight.

This award deal offers up to 9 seats on various dates in business class, as well as in economy.

Once you have confirmed availability, you can go ahead and book, or if you need to, transfer some points over.

To boost your balance of Virgin Atlantic points, you can transfer points at a 1:1 ratio from American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Rewards, and Wells Fargo Rewards. You can also transfer Marriott Bonvoy points at a 3:1 transfer ratio, with a 5,000-point bonus for transferring at least 60,000 in a single transaction.

Not only can you take advantage of this points deal, but you’ll likely score a bargain on hotels and other activities by visiting in winter, which is typically low season in Amsterdam and other European cities.

Final Thoughts

With business class seats available across several dates in December and early 2026, now is a good time to book a trip to Amsterdam through Virgin Atlantic. And once you’re in Amsterdam, pretty much all other cities in Europe are a quick train ride or flight away, often on low-cost carriers.

Even if you aren’t heading to Amsterdam but want to visit another part of Europe, it could be worth booking these flights before they disappear.
