ok today Virgin emailed flash sale which included $899 return to LAX in January school holidays.
The perception being put out by media & other destinations, is USA is expensive, when it's not.
They need to highlight how cheap USA is.
I'm specifically interested in skiing & in Colorado, which is cheaper than ever. You need 11,800 velocity ff points to fly LAX/DEN direct or via SLC I think.
So instead of offering double frequent flyer points, why couldn't VA or any airline, say use your frequent flyer points before you earn them ?
In VA's case, in USA DL fly almost everywhere.
To my way of thinking $999 is as good as $899, so instead of having a sale of $899, make it $999 & include add on fares to DL destinations, in exchange for the ff pts you would earn + the extra $100 fare.
