Reply To: Virgin Flying Club Awards Hong Kong

Damn. I’ve got 4 one way upper class reward flights from HKG to LHR in March next year.
We are spending 2/3 weeks in Vietnam and this was to be our return leg.
Reading the announcement below:

“anyone booked to travel from March 2023, will be offered a refund, voucher or the option to rebook on an alternative Virgin Atlantic route.”

I’m sure I’ll find out in time, but does anyone know what options might be for a rewards booking (as opposed to cash)? I’d be happy to return from a different city in the Far east but as far as I can tell Virgin only fly from Shanghai. Is there any likelihood (obligation) of them offering us seats on a different airline?
Any advice would be appreciated.
