What time do virgin relase their flights on the 331 day out

Checked last couple of days at 6am and the 10:30 from man had sold out of premium flights

Had looked on my mobile at around 4am previously and got an error message

Are you better to check on a computer rather than phone

Over the last few days many of us have been able to book virgin flights via other travel agents ( dialaflight ) by booking a code share trip. We managed to get 5 of us for �2000 from Manchester to Orlando direct with virgin flights - the same flights with virgin are coming up at �7500!

Look for direct flights on skyscanner or similar

I think when you don�t see availability it doesn�t mean they have sold out. It probably just means Virgin haven�t loaded the system yet.

I suspect the error you had before is a time thing, whilst the lack of availability is the fare loading thing.

No idea what time is good - love to know too! Is reward availability usually there at time of release?

I had an alert set through seatspy and they normally came through at about 5.30am on day 331. Sometimes they don't release any reward flights on day 331 though.
