Weird redemption pricing

Make it make sense...

Double the points required, but the fees are identical. Is there really that more value to flying as a Virgin codeshare?

(I was just playing around - I'm not going anywhere. )

Well I always think it's complicated looking at and pricing VA rewards on partner airlines .....but it's VA ..never easy to do much.

Okay. I didn't know there was such a thing as a cash seat converted to points.

It seems particularly odd on a partner airline.
