Mobile Virgin upgrade prices, always vary so much?

Hi all

So I have a booking for econ out PE return with Virgin. I'm live chatting every day to check out prices to upgrade my outbound leg too. The cost over 3 days has gone 960, 1024 then today 1994

What? Lol. That's madness. Is it normally this erratic?

OP. They are up and down like a yo yo. Why are you doing live chat though please?

Why not just check your booking where it's shown at the bottom. Or are you with VH not VA?

However if you want a laugh this is the price to go from PE to UC in Sept. I want a seat not the whole plane!

Fancy an upgrade?

Available between MCO and LGW from £ 3483.68 per person

I know exactly how the computer system works. But you have to have a figure in your mind you won't go beyond, stick to your guns and keep checking.

Now if you cave in you will pay too much. Be bloody minded like me and you may not get it.

However I have got an upgrade for as low as £43 last year and £81 for this year.

Hiya Mr Morrow,

Yes we are VH, wanted to take advantage of the prices of PE on inbound but needed to pay deposit as I hadn't budgeted for flights until March...DH won't give me his credit card (he's quite right, I can't be trusted )

This is 100% an option esp as we have PE on return leg so loads of luggage allowance he he

I'm pretty stubborn when I want to be so I'll stick to my guns. Seats booked in econ and I'm pretty happy with them so not too fussy if thats where we stay. I've paid £650pp direct from Glasgow including PE return leg which is when I really wanted it for luggage and more space on night flight.
