We've had 20K miles, humungous boxes of chocolates, Sony eye toys and so on for travelling in Upper Class over the last couple of years, but we seem to have gone a long time now without a big promotion for pax travelling in J. I wonder whether matching BA's triple miles (rather than the two sectors that were offered initially) used up all their marketing budget for the year?
Anyway, Virgin are probably thinking of New Year promotions now, and must want to lead the pack in their quest for new business, especially in W and J. So my question is: What would v-flyers like to see as the next promo? More miles, more toys, more chocolates, more discounts, or something new? And which classes? Should they just focus on J, or would some tidbits for W be in order?
For my part, I would love to see triple miles return, but I suspect the cost to the airline was very high. I'd still like to see a miles promotion though, perhaps back to the 20K miles per return, but extended to cover Z fares (which are likely to be the only route that I'll pick up any UC travel next year!)
You never know, VS might be searching for inspiration even as we speak!
Best wishes
