I have had a alert from seat spy saying there is a reward seat on the dates I am looking for ..sorry .. but what do I do next do I ring virgin ?

Book it quick!

Log onto the VA website, select the dates and cabin class using the Miles option and book. I tend not to ring if I can help it.

Or ring the Flying Club team and they will do it. Remember though - you snooze you lose! Act quick or somebody else will take them.

On your first post about the alert from seat spy were you referring to your outbound flight - I am confused when you mention above that your return flight hasn't been released. Have you just been advised that the outbound flights have reward space? Seat spy only pick one segment at a time when available.

actually re reading my email I think your right it says man to mco in bold letters then underneath in very pale writing it has the inbound and outbound flights I asked them to search...so do you think they are just telling me about the outbound flight... if so would it be worth while just booking that and then the return in 8 days ?

Yes seat spy are just advising of the outbound - have you actually checked the seat spy site to see what is on offer or did you ask Virgin when you rang them. If you wait until the inbound is released you do run the risk of not having the outbound available but you need to understand the terms and conditions of booking the outbound and what it costs to cancel if you can't get what you want for the inbound. It's a personal decision whatever you chose to do.

You can book know for your outbound and wait for inbound to show in 8 day�s but remember you will pay more in tax if you book separately and if you need to cancel you will have to pay �30 each way per person.
