Booking flights to Orlando / Tampa / next Oct half term with Companion Voucher

[PAUL7331]

Hi guys,

Bit of advice here please.

I’ve got 55k virgin points and will probably buy more points to make it up to 80k.

As I understand it return to Orlando is 40k per person peak time.

There’s x2 adults and x1 12 year old but I have x1 companion voucher – so am I right in thinking I can get both adult and child for 80k and a free companion – so 80k plus taxes all in?

My other issue is I’m over in Qatar for world cup when flights are released (331 days in advance right?) so is there a number to call, maybe the USA number to get it booked over phone as soon as the clock strikes 0:01 331 days beforehand? Also how do I g about booking the return on with companion voucher as that will be 10-12 days later?

Are you Virgin gold as otherwise I think the voucher is a 2 for 1.5 rather than a 241 in terms of the points.

That’s only the case if redeeming in UC Matt. This looks to be an economy redemption at 40k pp

Good point!

@Paul, if you run into availability issues you might have better luck departing to or from EDI.

Thanks guys – I see availability towards end of august, might bite the bullet and redeem for then rather than risk October reward flights selling out (weather can be hit and miss but hopefully I’ll still get some sun)

personally I’d buy economy tickets and use the vouchers to upgrade to premium
The savings on economy aren’t great esp if you book during one of their many sales
