Hi, I booked the outward leg of a flight in UC for 2 from LHR to SFO as soon as the date in late September 2024 became available. This was before the VA Black Friday promotion was published. Does anyone have experience of substituting existing bookings to take advantage of the rewards discount for the same flight and day. I’m raising the question on this thread because I don’t want to appear as a numpty to the nice people at VA’s call centre in Swansea. Its just that the reduction in miles required by this promotion are significant
Just call them, cancel with the fee and instantly rebook. The seats won’t disappear, there’s a huge amount of availability in UC to SFO looking at Seatspy. Probably helped by the massive taxes and the huge expense of holidaying in the US vs pre COVID.
Just called about this as well. They were very happy to help, but there are no available seats on the four flights I called about – with no guarantee that the seats I cancel will become available again.
Does anyone have any experience of seats NOT reappearing?
There are 2 x UC seats from the 17-25 Sep (not the 21-22nd). Do any of those dates work?
I don’t think the route and such far off dates with Virgin are that popular that someone’s going to instantly snap them up? I’m sure you’ll be fine.
@sturgeon, I did a few dummy bookings this morning and there seems to be a lot of phantom availability on SeatSpy, at least for PE between MAN and MCO.
I was just about to post a topic on this when I noticed this thread.
Seatspy appears to be having a bit of a mare with VS availability to the US. Is that because of Virgin messing around with availability whilst the BF sale is on? or is Seatspy generally unreliable with regards to VS seats?
