    Best way to fly J to NYC with VA points??

    Early this year I found it possible to get Washington Dulles-LAX-BNE-HBA FOR 2 in J on a VA reward. I think it was 125000 pts per person.

But it could be the fare class you are looking at, is actually...

    Booking a car rental via the Velocity Web Site

    I have looked at it but always received a much better deal using vroomvroom. Your booking is direct with the rental company and your credit card is not charged until you turn up to collect the car.

    My Virgin Gold experience

    As a platinum I am asked for photo ID more often than not and have absolutely no issue with the airline confirming my details to the reservation made. I feel sorry for the check in agent in this case, having to put up with the over reaction to a very valid request.
