One way reward booking .

[lftbeach]

Is there as easy way to find one way reward availability, back to the UK ? Thanks.

Easier than searching on the Virgin Atlantic site? It doesn’t even take two minutes!

I clicked on Reward Seat Checker,
Three departure options shown,
Heathrow Manchester and Edinburgh.
I guess I should have checked on Reward Seat Deals first….’Sorry, no Reward flights available, try Reward Seat Checker ‘ (From CPT )
Back to the three departure options only.

Sorry, I bow down to your long time knowledge and expertise.

Go here:

https://www.virginatlantic.com/

Change where it says “pay with money” to “Points + money”.

Enter Cape Town, Heathrow, one-way, your preferred date and change “show price in” to “points”

And then prepare to be disappointed as Cape Town is tricky.

Two minutes or I’ll waive my usual £10 fee.

[lftbeach]

Thanks. I waive the excess charge for being over two minutes.

I’ll tell Kermit and Freddo that it is gruel for tea again tonight.

Easier way, use this https://travelplus.virginatlantic.com/reward-flight-finder put in LNR and CPT, then search, then click the check rewards button, then click see return on the following page.

You can then scroll through the calender. There’s a fair bit of econ and prem. But lots more from JNB and it’s a short cheap flight between the two.

Thanks, (and it took less than two minutes !)
JNB it is…found two convenient Premium…I guess I’ll have to call to upgrade. As per the article yesterday, I’ll book economy first.

Keep an eye on it as Virgin can and do dump a lot of seats from time to time. You can bookmark the static page for a route & month once you’ve gone through the searzch process. Check it daily in case something gets released.
