Booking VA flights through a third party.

**alibeau** · 18 May 18, 09:29 AM

Morning,

I am considering booking VA flights MAN to MCO direct this summer through 'Omega flight store'.

Not done this before but I have checked that the economy price includes one suitcase case each (does that make the ticket a 'classic'?)...

My main question is, can if I book through a third party can I then contact the VA flying club to use my miles to upgrade to PE cabin?

As I say, only ever booked directly with VA so any advice welcomed!

Thanks.

Edited to say that Omega do state further into the booking process that this is a classic economy seat...

I booked Virgin Flights through a 3rd party (this was before the light, classic etc though so can't help there) but I did get a Virgin booking number which I linked to my flying club account which meant I now just deal directly with Virgin and will get miles etc as normal.

Usually if you book through a third party you have to go via the third party for any changes to the booking.
You can book seats etc directly but I would not have thought you would be able to upgrade with miles although having never done this I am not sure but I know in the past if I have needed to change flights/routes etc I have had to go via the third party as VA will not deal directly.
