So after a horrible VS flight to LAX last year where a member of the onboard staff managed to make my other half cry because she poured me a drink at the bar and took it to me, and a return flight from SFO where a member of staff poured one finger's worth of wine at a time to me all during the flight, I dumped my VS black credit card and got the BA one (never did a trip report because I was so angry that I'd rather not dwell on it), having considered never flying Virgin again...
The miles spare, I did book to Vancouver this year and the flight was excellent there and back again, so I guess back to VS (with a careful eye).
It was not hard to get 50k miles with BA with the card that after the offers, I've got about 7K on SPG and 15K on amex miles, so I could russle up about 65K for something...
So whats the likelyhood if I book a PE flight at a sale fare, that there might be some club seats on the go for upgrade closer to the time?
I've not done BA before, and understand the lounge aint great (and could kill me , but got charmed by the 1K Kingston fares which I might take up on the future, so might want to try, perhaps to Vegas over christmas or new year?
I had a look at the faq on the other site and it baffled me. I tried out the rewards stuff and it gave me pounds + points estimation of cost, but had no reference points as to whether it was a bargain or not. Virgins reward seats have been horrible for the last year, except for NY and Vancouver (but that worked out excellent as a destination). Just wondering how BA's compares.
