Reply To: Virgin Atlantic rebooking sanity check please!

Total cost for 2 of us MAN-MCO in UC was 21k miles plus £863, as per the OP. I booked PE online then called VS to upgrade to UC with the cc voucher and pay the additional surcharges.

Car rental for 3 days to get us to FLL and spend a couple of days there (which was in the original plan but minus the car) was around £100, so we’ve still made a cash saving as well as a big chunk of points.

When I booked, PE was 10,500 miles pp, and UC 29k. PE hasn’t changed, but UC is now showing as 47,500 points. My cc voucher would still have covered that, but not if it were any higher. I guess this is dynamic pricing in action!
