If you’ve already got flight booked for October, don’t forget you will earn miles on those flights, but you could, if it’s worth it, buy the miles to take you to 25k and then book 1 reward and 1 cash. Then ask Virgin to link the bookings, we did this for our Honeymoon in 2014.
It’s a shame they don’t do combi-fares anymore. When we went for our honeymoon in 2014, I did 1x combi-fare (EC cash out and PE miles back) and 1x miles and money (EC out and PE back.) It saved us over £600 on the cash price. I did have to book over the phone due to the complexity, we had 2 separate booking refs but they linked them for us. For the next trip in Oct 2022, yes I’ve been saving miles since 2014! Mainly converting Clubcard points. I already have enough for 3x EC returns, and I’m working out, how, in the next 3 years I can turn them into PE returns or EC/Upper returns. Edited at 11:54 PM. |

We booked economy out and back premium with miles for 35k and about £300 in taxes. We’re leaving Orlando today and 2 upper seats opened up this morning but only 1 with miles. Upgraded the wife for a further 25k and £100 over text (call would’ve been costly!). Asked at the airport if they’d open the last seat for miles and they did, so now we’re both flying back upper.
So economy out, upper back for 60k miles and £400 each. Good use of miles if you ask me! |

I've been working out how much an upgrade from econ to PE would be using miles vs money to try to get the best deal
The option to buy more miles is good at present and at times you can get a bargain on boosting your miles.
