Are you considering a trip to Europe towards the end of the year?
For only 50,000 Virgin Points one-way in November, you can currently reserve a Delta One seat from John F. Kennedy International (JFK) in New York to Zurich Airport (ZRH).
Even better, some dates have several seats available.
This makes the offer ideal for arranging a family vacation to one of Europe's most picturesque winter destinations.
You can transfer Virgin Points from American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Citi ThankYou at a 1:1 transfer rate if you don't already have any available.
The deal
Delta Airlines

Examples of itineraries

Virgin Points Earning
Fortunately, Virgin Points are among the simplest airline currencies to get.
From American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy, you can transfer points to Virgin Atlantic.
Virgin Atlantic accepts transfers from Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio, with a bonus of 5,000 Virgin Points for every 60,000 Marriott Points transferred.
Accordingly, 60,000 Marriott points will be converted into 25,000 Virgin Points.
Enhance your purchase
Make sure you pay award taxes and fees with a card that offers travel insurance and bonus points on airfare.
The Platinum Card from American Express, Chase Sapphire Reserve, and Chase Sapphire Preferred Card are a few cards that match the bill.
