Virgin does charge hefty fuel surcharges, but there are workarounds to lower than, such as booking 2 one-ways instead of a round-trip as is pointed out below.
Surcharges are much lower for flights originating in Israel, making for some real bargains for one-way or round-trip departures from there!

Thanks!
tlv – south africa too?
Valid on Virgin Atlantic marketed and operated routes only (flight number starts with VS) excluding routes departing or arriving at TLV, LOS, GRU. AUS and DEL. Partner airline and codeshare flights are not eligible.
nah
nor worth it with fuel surcharges
Please clarify:
Can I transfer my points to miles or get the 1.5 travel bonus on my points if I’m an authorized user on someone else’s Sapphire Reserve card (non-household)? Or do they have to be an authorized user on my account? Do the points need to be transferred between accounts first?
how is the premium cabin?
