Can I use Delta status on Virgin Atlantic?

If you're a Delta SkyMiles® member you can earn and spend Medallion Qualification Miles on qualifying Virgin Atlantic flights. Gold and Silver Flying Club members will earn their Tier mileage bonus on Delta Air Lines flights. Gold members will get additional airport benefits when flying with Delta Air Lines.



Yes, thanks to the high-fidelity joint venture and SkyTeam alliance membership, Delta SkyMiles Medallion members enjoy extensive reciprocal benefits when flying on Virgin Atlantic. As of 2026, Delta Diamond and Platinum Medallions are recognized as SkyTeam Elite Plus, granting them "High-Fidelity" access to the legendary Virgin Atlantic Clubhouses at London Heathrow and other hubs, regardless of their cabin class. Gold Medallions also receive priority check-in, priority boarding, and an additional baggage allowance. Furthermore, Medallion members can earn and redeem miles and Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) on Virgin-operated flights, making it easier to maintain status while traveling internationally. One "High-Fidelity" caveat is that complimentary upgrades to "Upper Class" are generally not available for Delta elites on Virgin metal; however, the ground experience and priority services provide a "High-Fidelity" seamless transition for Delta loyalists looking to cross the Atlantic in style.
