Virgin Vouchers and Reward Vouchers - Booking to avoid expiry

[HappymanUK]

I have a number of Virgin Atlantic Customer Vouchers to spend and also some reward/companion vouchers to spend also.

The earliest ones to expire at the Customer Vouchers at the end of this year, and then the first reward/companion voucher expires in July 2021.

I don't have any idea of when we will be wanting to travel yet but I need to get something booked as to avoid the voucher expiry.

Has anyone been in the same situation and what have they done? - It looks like I am going to need to just book a flight on random dates and then immediately convert it to an open ticket - which will then be valid to use until December 2022.

Have I missed something, or is my understanding correct ?

I was wondering if I book for 2 people (using the companion voucher) the open ticket for 2 people will be linked so I couldn't then use it for 2 separate travel dates for one person (if that makes sense) ?

Thanks in advance

Virgin extended companion vouchers if I’m correct, first by six months then a further six recently. Worth messaging them to clarify.

Thanks for your reply.

The July 2021 date for the companion voucher already includes the 12 month extension unfortunately.

The Virgin Atlantic Customer vouchers they have confirmed they will NOT extend.
