Looks like there is availability From Gatwick and Manchester on Thursday 12th Oct in PE

PE and Upper class and economy from Manchester on Friday 13th to MCO

THen in Week beginning Monday 23rd Oct as well 24th and 25th
There are availability for MCO coming into Manchester

We managed to upgrade and still availability showing
Hope above helps people

Are they still strict with the fare codes? Finding that the difference between cheapest fare and upgradeable fare is a lot these days.

Hendriks · 16 Aug 17, 07:35 PM

Yes you do need to be in upgradebale fare

For economy = X
For Premium = H

If you buy via Virgin direct you can pay difference and get changed

ie For Next year we had bough Cheaper economy tickets but paid to upgrade into an economy x tickets
And then using miles upgraded to Upper

Hi

Is there anyway of checking availability before I book the economy flights?

Thanks

Sorry for delay

yes you can book flights on the virgin website

The best way to look for air mile seats is to do single journeys and choose the option pay by miles

That way you will know if there are mileage sites on that journey

How do you know what class the tickets are?

If you have already booked flights -- it should be on the fare rules

If you are buying flights most travelk companies tell you on the fare rules page/ flight info

ON the virgin web page you can choose ticket type when making a search for a flight

We booked via VH, but I don't see a class of ticket. I guess I'll find out next month anyway as I'll be phoning to try and upgrade using miles.
