Still not seeing any LHR/MCO, or was it other destinations?

Hiya unixgirl, reward seats are taken so quickly. Checked few times a day for Man airport off peak, Nov to Apr, reward seat flights, finally saw limited availability and pinned down via a call to VS. Hoping the US allow us in by then!

phil36 Gone all Goofy Join Date: Feb 10	EEK! I hadn't realised this might be an issue. I have PE reward seats booked for New York in March 2022, but am now hoping/planning to join my daughter and family at Disney in August. The plan is to spend a week with them either before or after a week in NY. VA have confirmed that I can change my booking when flights are released (I have the points). I hadn't factored in that reward seats might not be available. Maybe if I do MAN to JFK and MCO to MAN rather than the other way round I'll have more chance of getting a reward seat? Any advice from more experienced folk?

Just in case its helpful we have reward seats 10th August come back 1st September which we will be cancelling. Just hanging on at the moment to see if Virgin themselves actually cancel them first.

As Orlando is their HQ they also travel to/from Orlando. Given me food for thought if our November flight is cancelled to reschedule to Mia knowing the coach is there if
I can't get a car for one day.

Desperately looking for lhr to jfk end of April 2022 where there appears to be reward seats. But none on the 13 May Mco to lhr. Do I just need to keep looking daily.

I'd be looking several times each day. Can you be flexible by a day or two or maybe flying from Miami? Can make a difference
