Australia with Atlantic?

[ejhcardiff]

I’ve started making plans to first collect points with Virgin/Virgin Money/Amex platinum. But I don’t think there’s a way to get a reward flight to Australia through VA? Maybe I’ll have to go Avios, which is a shame

VS LHR-LAX then DL to SYD comes to mind

Technically you could fly VS to LAXand then DL to Sydney, Aukland and Brisbane. Getting a ticket with VS miles is pretty unlikely though.

When Virgin launch to Seoul (likely flying summer 2024) you could book VS to Seoul and Korean Air to Sydney.

If you just want to use Virgin points and aren’t bothered about flying VS metal you can find decent availability with Korean Air or Vietnam Airlines via Seoul or Ho Chi Minh respectively.
