Fly Virgin Atlantic's New Business Class (A330-900neo) to London LHR starting from 55,000 Capital One points each way on select dates, thanks to the Capital One 20% transfer bonus to Air France/KLM Flying Blue offer. The 20% transfer bonus is only valid through today, 9/17/24, so move quickly.
BOS-LHR is 65,000 Flying Blue points + ~EUR 210 = 55,000 Capital One points with the 20% transfer bonus, while other routes are more expensive. New York JFK to LHR is 68,500 Flying Blue points = 58,000 Capital One points, ATL to LHR nonstop is 84,000 Flying Blue points = 70,000 Capital One points, and Washington Dulles IAD to LHR is 73,000 Flying Blue points = 61,000 Capital One points. Also note that fuel surcharges are higher departing London LHR, due to the UK's Air Passenger Duty which is more expensive for premium class passengers.
