….[Virgin Reply]……if you book earlier when the flights are released the points required will be considerably less than if you were to book a reward seat a few weeks later….
The points required may well be lower the sooner you book BUT even when booking the day the flights are released, the points required (in UC) are substantially higher than they were before this change was forced upon us.
