  Weakening US demand, VA completely exposed. I guess getting rid of your other non-US routes wasn’t the best commercial decision 🙂

    Except they made a profit last year for the first time since 2016.

      Last year became irrelevant once the following year started

    US tourists are still travelling in this direction though.

    Strange, because VA doesn’t even fly to the US, it’s quite a long way from Australia. Bad news for VS though…

      The rule on here is to make up two letter codes rather than use the IATA codes, even Rob does it. We had LO (Logan Polish Airlines) and AC (Aer Canada Club) in the recent article about Avios partners.

        Thankfully Virgin America and Virgin Express no longer exist.

          I’d rather people call Virgin Atlantic, VA, in the comments, than read comments with obscure airport codes that you have to Google to find out what airport they’re talking about

  We really like that Voco – great pool and one of the best breakfasts in terms of chiice and quality.

  The fact that the reviews on the voco hotel say recently that they no longer had an alcohol licence should have set alarm bells ringing.

    Strange the reviews on google from only a few days/weeks/months ago mention cocktails etc

  That is a shame. We have a five night booking starting 11th May.
  Still better to know now.

  Have an IHG spend £300 get £75 on my Platinum this morning expires 30/6/25

    Thanks for posting! I didn’t have it on Platinum but on BABB instead.

    I have this too. There’s something in the T&Cs about it needing to be “settled in GBP”. Does that mean only UK stays will work?

    • Rob says:

      Ignore that, Amex put it in every time and it is complete and utter nonsense.

        Great. Thank you Rob. Might swap out a points stay in Phuket to be a cash stay now!

        • Rob says:

          Not unless Phuket has moved to Europe. Have you actually read the property list?

  There’s two pathways to a Virgin holiday. You can search for flights and add a hotel, or search for a holiday. The price is often marginally different.

  The last time I went on a holiday with Virgin, I booked a Virgin Atlantic Flight & Hotel deal, powered by Virgin Holidays (and payment collected by Virgin Atlantic). At the time it triggered a 12% rebate at PAW compared to a 2% rebate or Virgin Holidays.

  Things may have changed, that was about 7 years ago.
