I'm finding it impossible to get an answer - even from Virgin/Velocity phone staff.
Can anyone help please?!
Booking 3 x economy returns for Xmas to Abu Dhabi, want to earn status credits towards maintaining Platinum Velocity.
Virgin hasn't yet released their fares for the return leg in Jan and I don't want to wait much longer given the peak season and importance of getting the outbound ones to tie in with family from uk.
so looking at Qatar website, I can book the VA1 for status credits on there, then would need to go with a qatar operated return.
Where I am stuck is that they have 3 x economy levels to book: Classic, Convenience and Comfort.
given if I booked on Virgin they give more status credits for economy Flex vs choice, and presuming that Qatar economy comfort would be equivalent of virgin Flex, I am trying to work out if paying for the Convenience vs Classic would give me the extra status credits. If not it's probably not worth it.
Hope that makes sense - does anyone know the answer?!
