VA Premium Economy
Starting to work on a cost for September 2019. I was wondering what you all think would be a good cost for Premium Economy?
We will be flying from Glasgow (2 adults) and I wondered if booking the day flights are released if PE would be that much more expensive than standard. |

I though I'd do a little experiment so I checked the following - I looked at what it would cost for two weeks from Manchester (know you want Glasgow but the theory should still hold and I know they fly each day from man) on the latest possible available booking (I.e. today is release day for flights returning on March 19th)
Economy Classic is 481 Premium is 848 I then looked at a flight returning 8 weeks from now (I.e. going in 6 weeks) Economy Classic is 585 Premium is 905 Not scientific I know but it does seem to suggest that premium is always sold at a premium over economy and all things being equivalent it's the same premium (I know this isn't always the case but I'm willing to guess it is more than it isn't) |

We booked a package for this July in December last year and just happened to be looking around end feb and I got us upgraded to pe on the way out for about £300 for us both. I thought this was ok

Thanks, That's a good way to look at it. So essentially around 300 to 350 more and anything less.9f a difference is a good deal.

Is that for MCO or your countdown flight to NYC? New York flights tend to be much cheaper than MCO flights as there are more of them per day from virgin and more competition from others.
For instance I've never got a UC return to MCO below 1500 quid but I can often get an UC new York return for around 900 quid |

I like the idea of PE on the return leg so will have a look at that. Are you booking direct with Virgin or can the likes of Skyscanner offer a similar mixed flight?

You probably won't see it as its a negotiated rate with work (very cheap and fully flexible) ...
I've never gotten UC to MCO (same deal different pricing) anywhere near NYC numbers That said our corporate head office is London and our global operations centre is NYC so we travel that route an awful lot (I probably do it 6 times a year) so I'm guessing we get a good repeat business deal Edit: there are people I work with that I never see in the office but bump into in the UC bar on the plane often - which is surreal Edited at 12:27 AM. |
