They are on VS website now.... But expensive.

Actually, they're not loaded onto the VS website yet.

The Z fare for that route, departing 28/12/06 is a ZLAP at £1,146 + taxes. Expertflyer is showing an effective date of 01/Apr/06, but this isn't always reliable.

The "Upper Class Lowest" shown on virgin-atlantic.com seems to be a D fare, at £2,708 + tax.

The fact that any fares are showing up is simply down to today being within 336 days of the return - but not all fare buckets are released immediately.


Strangely, ef.com is showing J7 D7 Z7 W7 S7 K0 Y7 B7 L7 M0 Q0 X0 N0 and J7 D7 Z4 W7 S7 K0 Y7 B7 L7 M7 Q0 X0 N0 for VS15/27 respectively, but doesn't show any data on either 7th or 8th January for the return. [?]

I had this with New York over New years - left it a day and then Ks came up. Just checked and the dates wanted now show Zs as available.

There are very few Z's on the MCO route anyway due to the small UCS cabin..maybe thats why none are showing yet?

As Jimmy Mc's mentioned, above - they're available for those dates now.
