Dubai flights loaded for September/ October?

[The Original Nick]

Does anyone know when the LHR – DXB flights are loaded for September/October? Is it April?

Maybe one for Rob?

Thanks
Nick.

VS is T-331. The only availability in September/October is late October right now, according to the RFF (https://www.virginatlantic.com/reward-flight-finder/results/month?origin=LHR&destination=DXB&month=10&year=2025). You could use points to pay down a full cash purchase, but that’s usually a poor value way of doing things. If you’re flexible on dates, there’s some good Premium pricing there – and some eye-watering Upper!

Thanks AL.
I have managed to bag 2 seats in UC from BOM – LHR in September at a good price. £154 + 24k points/pax. A nice touch for my return trip from India for my 50th Birthday.

I think DXB might be a seasonal route, operating from late Oct to late March?

India is an excellent route for redemptions – I was very happy with my c. £20ish Upper upgrade costs last year during their 40th sale! Bon (advance) anniversaire!

Good point, @NorthernLass – it is! It runs 26/10-30/03, with the first ex-LHR on the 26th and the first ex-DXB on the 27th.
