Greetings
I am a new member on here, I have am a Red Card with VS. Planing a trip to the UK in June and am wondering when and if Z fares become available. I booked a Z fare before at about the first of year on my last trip, after receiving a email promo from VS.
Also looking at using miles plus ticket to upgrade, but all of June is blocked from upgrading.
Looking to go UC/PE.
Thank you
J

You may well be to late to get a G (UC reward ticket) for June, that is prime time for any UK airline.
Your best bet would be to find a Z fare which can be done at VS.com or by calling the FC (thats the easy way), where are you flying from ?
Edit: Ok I see your from Costa Mesa, so going to assume LAX...call FC and ask about Z's for your trip.

Hi and welcome to V-Flyer.
Fares are available 336 days from your return flight. As Z fares are the cheapest UC fare available these are the ones that usually sell out first although it is a little unusual for June to be all sold out of Z's already. What route are you looking at flying on?
Regarding upgrades, then this is more tricky, only a certain amount of reward/upgrade seats are released for each flight and quite often on busy popular routes these get snapped up straight away. Your best bet would be to give Virgin FC a call and ask them what flights/dates there are upgrade seats available as they will also be able to give you the price for an upgradable economy fare, something that is hard to get on the website.
