UC Sale today?

I've been religiously watching the LGW-ANU flights in UC for dates next May/June.

I was beginning to lose hope but...About an hour or so ago the magic numbers appeared! Hugely cheaper than they were up until now.

Just in case this helps anyone else! No idea how widespread this is in terms of routes / dates.

And also got our favourite seats 3A and 5A which we think are the best on the A332.

BA announced a 2 for £2019 fare in CW for certain routes. And further routes can be had for a little more. I think the BA sale runs until 19th Aug.

Maybe VS are having a silent sale to match this. So if anyone has spotted anything of interest, I'd be booking asap.

Just seen that VS are matching the BA price for NYC in September - £1499 - for us solo flyers (but not BOS or IAD for the dates I checked)

Google flights is also giving me options such as LHR/LCY-AMS-JFK on KLM for similar pricing.


What are the rules on earning FC points on KLM given the JV is about to get final US approval? I'd like to give KLM a t

Haven't tried collecting on them yet but the VS website details what you can expect. https://www.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/flying-club/partners/airlines/klm.html

Well that didn't last long! Less than 24 hours and the prices on our route have rocketed back up.

Very glad we booked straightaway!

Tontybear - what's that quote? Something about ten years from now you will look back and regret the things you didn't do, never the things you did do!

...thats how I justify all the things I want to do that I probably shouldn't!

How are VS managing to have MAN>BOS Upper Class seats in their current 'sale' between 23 June - 02 July 2020 when Delta take over that route from 21 May 2020??

It's still not Upper Class though which is what that says?
