Re: Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
Hi Morbo
I have been a Flying Club member for about 5 years. Have redeemed flights with VS on the routing LHR-LAX/SFO-LHR. No worries with getting availability (about 3 months out) over Easter (this was in Upper Class). Also redeemed partner award (x2 on the same flight) from MEL-AKL on Air NZ (in economy). Again - no problems, came back confirmed within 24 hours.
The beauty of the VS programme is that you can redeem one-way flights, useful if you personally only have enough miles to purchase one way and have a partner/friend purchase the other way.
Worthwhile checking the terms and conditions - buried in the small print are things like 'no upper class reward travel on Fridays' - but I have redeemed an award on a Friday and I think these T&C's are just there 'in case' they have very heavy demand (in fact the VS call-centre said at the time they weren't aware of the restriction!).
VS has an office in SYD which makes payment for tickets very easy.
Regards
FlyFirst.
