Huge amounts of Orlando reward availability on Virgin Atlantic from Manchester

Virgin Atlantic has opened the floodgates on Virgin Points reward availability between Manchester and Orlando.

This is, unfortunately, only available in November and December whilst children are still in school.

That said, there is a lot to do in Orlando if you don’t have school-aged children!

Huge amounts of Orlando reward availability on Virgin Atlantic from Manchester

Take a look at this screenshot from SeatSpy, our preferred reward notification service.

It shows dates with FOUR Upper Class reward seats from Manchester to Orlando in November and December.

Data was correct as of 8pm on Wednesday night.

If you need fewer than four seats in Upper Class then you will have more dates to choose from.

There are also plenty of OUTBOUND dates with four seats in Premium, although return availability in Premium for four people is thin.

Outbound Premium / inbound Upper isn’t a bad compromise though, giving you a flat bed for the return trip. To book a mixed cabin trip you must search for Economy, which displays all cabins. Searches for Premium or Upper only show that cabin.

The cost for FOUR Upper Class return flights from Manchester to Orlando is 380,000 Virgin Points plus an impressive £3,850 in taxes and charges.

You can obviously reduce the points element if you have a Virgin Atlantic credit card 2-4-1 or upgrade voucher to use.

    This is the company that said I would be charged once car is handed back.

  • Tarmohamed says:

    I have 2 upgrade vouchers from Virgin Atlantic + card. I’d like to use them for Orlando during any school holidays. 2 adults and 2 children. I do not have any status with the airline. What is the best way to utilise the vouchers? I do not have much points either as I usually collect on my Amex to redeem on emirates.

    • NorthernLass says:

      If you haven’t got enough points, you can use them on cash bookings. As usual, Rob has done a couple of articles on this!

  • gordog01 says:

    Can you use your vouchers and points on anyone and not just yourself with Virgin?

    • Rob says:

      Points, yes. Not sure about the official voucher rules but call centre is usually flexible.
