you may need to change at least one of your flights to be able to take advantage of it. worth looking at whats available, we did it and came back the day after instead

For those who have bought cash tickets, did you buy the Allianz insurance as well?
I hadn't thought of this, I was about to push the button and go for 2 x UC at the £999 price to MCO in May, with a view we could change to later in the year, and pay the difference (minus the £350 VA will pay towards it)

Or did you source another insurance?

DH on phone to virgin now to confirm flights we put on hold yesterday - had to sort leave from work. This is a back up as I can't see our March Hawaii trip going ahead.
Man - MCO upper class in June £1002 each, no miles as all used for March
Now to plan our itinerary 😊

That seems really expensive for 2 people in sept.

£1300 total for 2 people is expensive for Upper Class?! I’d love to know how you can get them cheaper.

As I mentioned in a previous post you have to pay all taxes and carrier imposed surcharges on reward flights and upgrades, sadly there is no way around it. Current fees for a return trip LHR-MCO are;

Economy £255
PE £471
UC £661

Hiya Steve - can you advise if one books rewards at 47500 miles and £661pp taxes and fees, should they have to cancel would the usual return of miles and a £30pp admin still apply? Thanks Steve.

As saving miles is generally to purchase reward seats, and whilst I understand some feel Virgins UC £661 T&Fs are too high, to us it's worth every penny and 47500 miles vs the cash fare of circa £2400.

Yes the T&C are the same as the the normal full points rewards (I checked when I booked yesterday).

Oh heck I’ve just booked 2 upper class to lax next sept and didn’t think I could use upgrade vouchers from credit card as only used them before from economy to premium 😮.
So If I’m within the 24 hour cancellation period do you think I could ring them and add the upgrade vouchers? I’ve used 134,800 miles for both of us 😞

Yeah, I’m happy with the price - just couldn’t figure out why a previous poster was suggesting the price was too high. Thanks to you for all your info - it’s really helpful
