Well having not planned to book for next year and just wing it last minute, when I saw this thread on my lunch, I booked us to PE tickets 10th of October for 10 nights.

Not been in October for many years so hope it's good weather

I finally had a response from VA.

There is a response to your open inquiry:

You're through to Mark today. I'm sorry for the delayed response.. . If you have now already booked at the sale rate, and the dates are before the 31st of August 2021, you can then change to open tickets, however when re-booking the standard amount of points would be required. You can't book the sale ticket and keep the sale price for the re-booking to later dates.

I've got the same arrangement with some tickets I bought for cash (well, credit card) at the weekend.

If they don't cancel the flight and I can't travel because of restrictions, then they will rebook me for free, but not necessarily at the same price. My tickets were Upper Class, a bargain at £900, but only if the flight in April can take me. If not and I have to rebook to August for example, the tickets then were £1600, and that was in the sale which may not be still running by the time I have to rebook. They are offering up to £350 discount if the price is higher but it still means I'd be paying at least £350 per ticket extra which I would rather not.

I consider about £1000 per ticket to be top of the shop for a flight to Orlando and I compromise on class up to that limit. That usually means Economy.

Currently on hold (urgh Bittersweet Symphony again), as I've been told via the messenging service that I already have 'the best deal' with the 50% Black Friday sale and that using my companion vouchers retrospectively, from my cancelled flight, would cost me more points - how do they figure that one out! I'm sure some of you on here have used companion vouchers at the same time as the 50% miles Black Friday sale?

Just had a thought, maybe adding the voucher makes the system recalculate the mileage at full rates now the sale has ended?

Did you ask to use the voucher when booking?

I'm wondering that too. Managed to get through and the chap seems very confused

I couldn't as I was waiting for it to be returned to my account from the booking I cancelled. I was assured at the time I could use it retrospectively.

It's not the end of the world if I can't as I'll just use it against another booking
