[Sardul747]

KLM now bookable through Virgin Atlantic again.

I made a DL award booking this morning as well, though I don’t know if they ever went away!

I don’t think either went away. Does OP mean that you can find them on VS.com, rather than calling?

[Man of Kent]

I booked a KLM redemption through the VS website a couple of months ago.

Hi, do you know if you can you get KLM business to Australia on virgin points then?

[Alexthenotsogreat]

Yeah Air France / KLM bookings weren’t working online or on the phone for about a month and a bit – there was a notice on the KLM page of the Virgin website saying that it should be fixed early August, so good news!

[Wiseoldman]

thanks for the update

[james747]

Yes thanks for flagging 😊

I booked 2 KLM flights using Virgin points this evening online and both worked, not sure if they have fixed the problem where it would often say the seats had gone or if I just got luckily.

Neither booking appeared to have worked as I was returned to the search screen rather than the confirmation screen but I got flight confirmation emails.

[Swiss Jim]

It seems pretty on/off to me. Maybe this fix will last.

I don’t seem to able to search on Virgin for KLM flights? Searching ABZ – AMS and it says ‘sorry something went wrong try later’.
Is there a way to search KLM flights on Virgin or do you need to call?

[supergraeme]

Can’t find Aeromexico on there at the moment either.

I’m looking at Paris to Antananarivo (TNR) in Madagasacar in October 2025. Air France fly the route most days, and the long haul chart suggests a business class return will be 122,000 Virgin points plus Taxes and Fees.

However, when I look online I can see available return redemptions through to Jun 29th 2025 for 193,000 plus EUR 627

So 2 questions:

1. If I call Virgin will they be asking for 122k points or 193k?
2. How far in advance are redemptions released – is it really only 9 months before takeoff?

We just got back the other day on the 11.15pm Virgin LAX/LHR on a one way redemption ticket, issued through my KLM account.
OT The crew were typically Virgin friendly but we both thought the A350 was not the most comfortable for overnight sleeping. If I’d paid $1000’s for our UC seats, I would not have been impressed.
