Not suggesting that anyone needs to travel from MAN, this is just how the vouchers work for me. As we live 45 mins from MAN, having the option to do a long-haul trip direct on points is more than attractive enough to keep me collecting with Virgin.
I live 30 mins from LGW and 1 hr from LHR so totally understand why MAN is a great shout for NorthernLass!
I think the mistake I made was inadequate research into my use case for Virgin and the non competitive terms compared to BA for me.
