…. and a Virgin Atlantic Jamaica deal
As flagged by Luxury Flight Club, Virgin Atlantic is offering Upper Class flights to Montego Bay for £1,867 return.
Even better, it is on an Airbus A330-900 which is the newest aircraft type in the fleet and with private suites. Here is our Virgin Atlantic A330-900 Upper Class Suite review.
Seats are available between June and September.
The Virgin Atlantic flight booking system is a bit odd. When you search, you will be shown outbound flights first which look expensive. However, this price is actually the cheapest possible return price. If you see an outbound priced at £1,867, the return will price at £0 where this deal is available.
You can search for dates on the Virgin Atlantic website here.
Here’s an example from 3rd to 17th July:
Get 40,000 Marriott Bonvoy points with a ‘Homes & Villas’ booking
Marriott Bonvoy is offering 40,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points if you book a home or villa rental through its ‘Homes & Villas’ platform.
40,000 points is on top of your base points of 5 per $1 spent plus any elite bonus.
We value 40,000 Marriott Bonvoy points at £200 so it is a strong return.
There is a bit of small print:
- registration is required before booking.
- there is a minimum spend requirement of $2,000 before taxes, deposits and cleaning fees
- there is a two night minimum stay
- you need to book by 13th May
- you need to stay by 3rd January 2027
- stays have to be paid 100% in cash – full or part payment with Marriott Bonvoy points will disqualify you
How many points do you earn with Homes & Villas?
On top of the 5 base points per $1, elite members of Marriott Bonvoy will earn a status bonus:
- Silver Elite: 5 base points per eligible $1 plus 10% bonus
- Gold Elite: 5 base points per eligible $1 plus 25% bonus
- Platinum Elite: 5 base points per eligible $1 plus 50% bonus
- Titanium Elite: 5 base points per eligible $1 plus 75% bonus
- Ambassador: 5 base points per eligible $1 plus 75% bonus
…. and Gold and above receive additional points as a welcome gift:
- Ambassador Elite, Titanium Elite, Platinum Elite: 1,000 points
- Gold Elite: 500 points
The 40,000 bonus points for this promotion (assuming your stay qualifies) is on top of these bonuses.
As well as earning Marriott Bonvoy points, your stay also earns elite night credits towards Marriott Bonvoy status.
