Hi all
First time poster so apologies for what may be a dumb question.
I’ve got a whole heap of Virgin points and two credit card reward vouchers. I’m looking to get from LHR to OGG for work (and back) in September and it seems quite tricky to use Virgin and my reward vouchers to move from work sanctioned economy into premium economy bliss. Am I missing something obvious?
The best I, and a Virgin Atlantic call centre rep, can do is to go LHR – LAX in a virgin premium economy seat, stop over for the night and go LAX – OGG the next day in delta. Aka not an itinerary I love.
The slightly risky option is I get the same morning LHR – LAX flight in premium then separately book my own flight out of LAX to OGG four hours later and hopefully sort all the immigration faff in time. I’m a Brit but not a global TSA traveller.
I’m not wedded to travelling via LAX but it seems that the most Virgin operated planes run that way. I can go via Schipol and Seattle instead but they’re not virgin planes so no good to me for upgrades.
Like I said it’s entirely possible (likely!) I’m missing something so any help very gratefully received please!
