Using VA air miles for upper class flights

Hi All

Sorry if this has already been done to death. I have enough airmiles to do return upper class flights for 2 people. What is the best way to book the flights? I have sat here for most of the afternoon trying to check various permutations but to no avail. I have tried Orlando and also Barbados. Is there a simpler way to check if there are return seats? I have been looking at sept/ Oct time.

Thanks in advance
Doris

Hi loves2plan

Knew I could trust ad-libbed to come up with the goods lol!

Thank you so much for that. Definitely makes it easier.
Do you have any tips on who is best to use for transfers from airports? We are used to hiring cars in the Us but would use transfers for other countries as we would stay all inclusive
Thanks in advance

Sorry, no idea about transfer companies for other countries, but I'm sure other Dibbers would be able to help.

I always find that calling the flying club is the easiest option.

Thank you all for the replies, it’s really very much appreciated. We are new to searching reward seats and are finding it all a bit confusing.

Have any of you booked with virgin holidays and took the chance of booking upgrades if there are any available?

Thanks in advance
Doris

Hi Doris I was looking at this option for New York flights , I did ring FC and they said you can do this but it’s a chance you take if there’s any availability for your dates.

If you have enough miles then you can use the VS limo service

Hanks for all the replies folks. Didn’t realise about the limo service either!

I think it’s going to be a call to flying club and keeping track of what seats are available. Will have to keep my eyes peeled on the different sites.

Many thanks
Doris 😜
