Miles Booster

Miles Booster is available to all Flying Club members and gives you the choice of buying the base flown miles, or buying double the base flown miles for the trip you’re taking. Plus, you’ll get off to a flying start with an additional 1,000 miles each time you boost.

To boost your miles today, just call us on 0844 874 7747 (UK) or 1 800 821 5438 (US).

Miles Booster lets you accelerate the earning of miles on any of our flights, getting you to rewards that much faster. Miles Booster allows you to buy extra miles – based on how many miles you’re flying. You can also retrospectively boost for flights you’ve flown over the last 6 months. Cabin bonus and tier bonus miles will not be included in the miles you boost.

Boosting miles on just a few of our long-haul flights can earn you enough miles for a cabin upgrade, an entire reward flight and more. Please see our Spend Miles page to see for yourself. And remember, all purchases of Miles Booster come with a 1,000 mile bonus on top of your flight miles.

1. Qualifying Flights are flights which have VAA’s two letter “VS” designator code on the ticket. Tickets purchased utilising another carrier's two letter designator code are not eligible, even if operated by VAA.

2. Purchase of Miles through Miles Booster can be made from the time of flight booking until the original date of the first sector of the flight in the itinerary. Retroactive purchases may also be made up to the date falling six months after the original date of the first sector of the flight in the itinerary.

17. Members must have a valid email address in order to purchase Miles through Miles Booster.

18. Members will have the right to cancel any purchase of Miles for up to 7 days after the date of purchase provided that none of the purchased Miles have been redeemed.

Once the 7 day cooling off period has expired any Miles purchased and received by Members are non-refundable and non-transferable, except as expressly permitted by the terms and conditions of Flying Club.

19. If the itinerary associated with the Miles Booster purchase is changed or the customer does not take the flight, payment is still taken at the point of sale of the Miles Booster purchase and the Miles will be credited to the Member’s Flying Club account within 48-72 hours after the originally scheduled date of the first sector of the flight in the itinerary.

20. If the flight associated with the Miles Booster purchase is cancelled by VAA, customers are eligible for a refund and may initiate one by calling a VAA contact centre. All refunds will be processed by Points.com International Limited within 48 hours of approval and credited back via the original form of payment.
