Reply To: USA internal flights using Virgin Points

These aren’t USA internal flights of course…

Appreciate it may not work for your plans, but if looking to travel to Cancun from the UK domestic Mexican flights from Mexico City look quite cheap. In theory Aeromexico flights should be bookable with Virgin Points, though given the cash prices that’s unlikely to give great value on the points.

For getting to Mexico City, Iberia redemptions (with 3 flights/day) are good value if you have Avios (particularly with a new style Amex 2for1).

Of course if you’re starting near Gatwick, the direct BA flight would be easier – I suspect redemption availability gets snapped up quite quickly though for peak travel periods, and is somewhat more expensive than Iberia in business class at least.
