## What is PointsRadar?

PointsRadar tracks Virgin Atlantic reward flight availability and tells you the moment the points price drops.

Search reward availability across the route network, browse a whole month at a glance, and set alerts that watch for the seats you actually want.

SEARCH
• Start from what you know — your dates, your destination, or how many points you have
• One-way, return and multi-city reward availability
• "Best trip for my points" ranks whole trips inside a budget you set, for the number of people going, with a trip length you can flex
• See every cabin option to each destination, mixed cabins included, with how many dates fit your points and the cheapest of them
• Filter by cabin, date range, maximum points and saver fares
• Compare Economy, Premium and Upper Class side by side
• Every result comes with the details to quote and a one-tap call to reservations

CALENDAR
• A month view showing the cheapest points price on every date, cabin by cabin
• The cheapest days of the month are highlighted, with chips that jump straight to them
• "Out & return" flips the month between legs, so you can pick a day each way and see both together with the return total
• Tap a date to see every cabin and what each one costs
• Your saved holidays are marked across the calendar, including the flexible days either side

DESTINATIONS
• Browse where your points can actually reach, filtered by what you have
• A page for each destination: which UK airports fly there, and the cheapest seat in every cabin
• "Lowest points right now" — a live board of the cheapest seat to everywhere, or up to twenty dates in every cabin for one place

ALERTS
• Watch a single route and get told when it drops below your points limit
• Holiday alerts watch an entire trip: one departure airport, up to 25 destinations and flexible dates, capped by one maximum for the whole return trip or by a separate limit for each cabin in each direction
• Mixed-cabin trips — Premium out, Upper Class back — can be included or left out
• Tap a triggered alert to see every seat it found, filter by destination and cabin, and sort by cheapest or earliest

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-20

Points Search, rebuilt. Ask what your balance buys for the number of people going, and see every cabin option to every destination.

• Points Search now takes people, a destination, cabins and a trip length you can flex by up to three nights either way.
• Each destination shows every cabin option inside your budget — including mixed ones like Premium out and Economy back — with how many dates fit and the cheapest of them.
• Sort by cheapest, best cabin, furthest or most dates.
• Calendar: a new "Out & return" switch flips the month between legs, so you can pick a day each way and see both with the return total.
• Calendar: the cheapest days in each month are now highlighted, with "Lowest" chips that jump to them, a month picker and shaded weekends.
• Your saved holidays appear on the calendar, outlined across the dates, dashed on the flexible days.
• Tap a triggered alert to see everything it found: both dates, the cabin each way, points per leg and the return total. Filter by destination and cabin, sort by cheapest or earliest.
• Holiday alerts can use a holiday you have already saved, and "Alert me for these dates" turns a holiday search into an alert in one tap.
• Holiday alerts are simpler to set: choose your cabins and one maximum for the whole return trip, with mixed-cabin trips switched on or off.
• Lowest Point Flights can be narrowed to one destination, showing up to twenty of its cheapest dates in each cabin.
• Destination pages now show an accurate cheapest price for the next three months, and open straight into a points or holiday search.
• Points limits on alerts and search now reach 500,000.
• Smoother scrolling on the Alerts tab, and swipe-to-delete no longer appears while you scroll.
