    It honestly feels like this new system is broken

    I am looking at LHR to DXB from 11 December to 22 December. I have 2 vouchers that I am struggling to use, one of them expires in January

    Looking at those dates, I wanted to book economy then call to upgrade to PE using the voucher. How is it even possible that the redemption for Economy is 162K points but PE is 83K return? That makes it impossible to use the voucher

    Can anyone recommend any other alternatives to redeem points/vouchers before they expire?

    VS points pricing changes frequently, as often as once or twice a day. You have to check daily for the route you want.

    Either use https://vseats.io/ or https://www.virginatlantic.com/reward-flight-finder

    How many people is this for? Can you use the voucher for a companion ticket? Or upgrade from PE to UC? But yes, points pricing is crazy.

    I think you may of left this booking a bit late as it’s peak time for Dubai. If you really need to get to Dubai for that time I’d look at flying into BOM with VS and then get a cheap hop over with all the LCC.
