Buy Virgin Atlantic Points with up to 70% bonus (and how to use them)

[jase05]

I’ve used VS points on GA and they have a sweet spot MEL-DPS but it’s still a very patchy FFP and finding availability on partner airlines is a bit of a pain. Some decent availability on their own metal between the US and UK and I’ve had some decent luck getting AF tickets but carrier charges can get high. Until VS is integrated into SkyTeam fully it’s still a bit of work involved.

I might try GA or wait until something else opens up, have you had any luck on the non-SkyTeam partners?

GA has now been integrated into the VS system so awards can be booked online without needing to phone.

Anyone know how to allocate seats on GA flights online with a VS booking?
Do I need to call?
