Hi
I need some advice on how to get 4 UC flights to Vegas. I normally use my reward seat for me & my partner, pay prem economy seats & use 90k airmiles & reward seat plus cost taxes etc. £800 odd to upgrade to UP return.
I want to get four people to Vegas in Upper.
If I used my reward seats/2-4-1 do I have to travel on each reward? Do I need 4 reward seats or pay for two & get 2 reward seats? Plus 50% airmiles.
I know there are barely any reward flights available but im flexible with dates.Any advice would be much appreciated.
Where are you starting from?
I am in a similar position trying to get flights from Manchester (hard luck I hear you all shout).
It looks like it’s London or nothing as the 2-4-1 have to be used on Virgin metal.
@FREEFLIGHTS, VS dropped MAN-LAS a while back and I doubt it’ll reappear in the current climate. If you want to avoid London, you could book MAN-ATL-LAS, there seems to be decent availability to ATL and the connection would be on Delta so potentially you could book all the way through on one ticket. Or JFK would probably work as well. They have started BGI for this winter as well which I haven’t seen reported elsewhere.
Re the original post, I suspect 4 seats to LAS is a big ask, again you might be better using your vouchers to get to somewhere with better availability then connect. I don’t know what the situation is with 2 vouchers as I’m a VS newbie myself but people have said they have quite a lot of leeway with the phone bookings.
One could use 2 vouchers in the same name for 4 people but not sure if this is restricted to silver/gold as all miles/vouchers can be utilised across household members. But VS CSA pretty liberal with vouchers & if red still worth a call as they are applied manually.

I understood that the 2-4-1 cannot be used on the Delta leg as it’s not Virgin Metal?
They can’t, but you could use it on the Virgin leg to JFK or ATL.
Thanks for your replies, much appreciated. Flying NYC in September with a voucher but still got two left. I will look at maybe a connecting flight or go premium.
Fair point, but to continue in UC equivalent on the Delta leg costs more than the fair from LON to LAS direct and who wants a MAN to LON shuttle flight on BA at the moment.
Also a fair point! BA is currently treating MAN-LHR pax with utter contempt (continual cancellations, no guaranteed lounge access for CE pax).
What I’d be tempted to do would be to book MAN-ATL or MAN-JFK and look for a cheap domestic connection separately, especially on a short trip with HBO. Looking at this as possibility (though not HBO) for a Bahamas trip next year where we might need to do Fort Lauderdale to Bimini but AFAIK there are no direct flights from the UK to FLL.*OH wants to dive with tiger sharks!
