MPM one way?

Hi, I did a search but couldn't find anything about this.

If possible I would like to book a flight for miles one way (which I can do) and a MPM fare one way. On the VS website it doesn't let you book one way MPM so I assume it can't be done. Any info would be great.

Cheers.

Never heard of it, Sean, but it'd be worth a call to FC.

Thinking about it, after all your back and forth trips to Antigua, you should have miles coming out of your ears now :D Or have you already spent them all? Anyway, if MpM works one way, then that's one area when they could be pretty useful.

Best wishes

David

This may not help at all, but I know you can do MPM each way in different classes. Now I do not condone this, but it is possible, for example, to book the leg you wish, say Antigua-Gatwick UC and return 2 weeks later in economy, and then not use this last leg. Just be aware you have to do this in the correct order as Virgin will cancel the return leg of any outbound flight that you do not make.

So with the above info you could for example:
Book miles only one way flight in UC from Gatwick to Antigua then do as I stated above for a 'cheap' way to get a return flight in the class you wish using a kind of one way MPM fare.

Bare in mind that the one-leg cost in economy to most of virgins destination in MPM will be between £100-£200.

Again, I do not condone this. 'I know a man who did this sucessully'[8D].
