In the past, I recall that you could use Velocity Platinum Upgrades for someone travelling on a different itinerary/booking reference, as long as they were on the same flight as the one you were upgrading.

Can anyone confirm if this is still the case? With Virgin's lines being so busy, I don't want to call up and add to it, until I'm ready to do the upgrades.
 
Yes, can still be done assuming award availability exists. The agent just needs to merge the bookings into a single PNR. its worth noting that this can’t be done if not ticketed directly with VA (eg. Amex travel).

To exploit this benefit further, you can also upgrade family/friends travelling with you on the same PNR and once applied, cancel your flight so that they have the free upgrade despite not being VA Plat. Just need to ensure that your ticket is a fully flex or award etc.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
