Virgin Atlantic

Anyone here flown Virgin Atlantic using Flying Blue status? Trying to figure out what actually carries over. Specifically wondering about seat selection. On KLM, Air France, and Kenya Airways, Flying Blue Gold usually gets you economy comfort seats if available. Does Virgin...

Still kinda stunned. Spent the last couple days half-scrolling seats.aero at work trying to use the Virgin Amex bonus and somehow snagged two Air France J seats on a summer Friday. Ticket shows a final hop to LGW that I don’t need so I’ll just skip that part. Cash would’ve been...

Booked a KLM ticket but wanted the miles to go to Virgin. A few days before the trip, I had Flying Blue remove my FB number from the booking and they even confirmed it. After the flight though, it still auto credited to Flying Blue, probably because of some backend profile link....

Just booked my first-ever award trip for me and my husband, two business-class round trips SFO → LHR for 208k Virgin points. But the fees/taxes came out to almost $3,000 and now I’m wondering if I totally blew it. We’re locked into October 2026 dates, used the Chase → Virgin...

I dragged my feet on a 30k Virgin Atlantic redemption from SEA to CDG next September. With the Amex 40 percent bonus it would’ve been 22k, which felt like a steal, but I kept waiting for a biz deal. Checked again today and it’s gone. Guess I’m paying cash now and trying to...

I booked an upper class flight to LHR last week on Virgin Atlantic using points. It has dropped significantly in points today. Is there any way I can get the points difference back to me or would i have to cancel and rebook?

Got a LAX to Delhi itinerary on Virgin with a 2 hour connection at Heathrow, same terminal. Kinda tight for winter travel and I’ve never done an international-to-international at LHR this close before. Anyone had luck with a 2 hour window there?

Booked my Japan trip for June 2026 using the Chase 40 percent bonus and figured I’d share the DP. I wasn’t chasing business this time, just wanted solid economy space. Found IAD to HND on 6/5 for 32500 Virgin miles and 178.50. Return on 6/26 for the same miles and 254.03. Whole...

Booked a Delta domestic flight through Virgin Atlantic (11k miles) and the site clearly said “Included: 1 x 23kg checked bag.” But at check-in, Delta’s system tried to charge me. Called customer service, they said the free bag should show up and to ask at the counter. Now the...

We booked 5 Premium Economy tickets on Virgin Atlantic to London for a group of 6. One person can’t go anymore, and we’d like to give that PE seat to our family member who’s in Economy. Virgin said they can’t make the change over the phone and didn’t say if it can be handled at...

Had to pay the $35 day pass for a Zoom call and instantly regretted it. Staff was super rude, space is tiny, and the food setup’s weak no real food until 11:30 and you can’t even pour your own water. WiFi barely worked too. Honestly, I can’t see how anyone pays full price for...

The more I fly premium economy, the more I think of it as "economy that won’t ruin my back." You get more space, sometimes decent perks like real cutlery or a glass of prosecco, but it’s still very much economy in spirit. I’ve found the sweet spot is using points for upgrades or...

Sydney got socked with some serious fog the other morning, and it didn’t go unnoticed. Flights were delayed across the board Jetstar, Qantas, and Virgin all got hit. Winter mornings in Sydney are kind of notorious for this, but when it happens, it still creates a mess....

Just came across the news that IndiGo is partnering with Delta, Air France-KLM, and Virgin Atlantic to enhance connectivity between India, Europe, and North America. This collaboration aims to leverage each airline's strengths, providing passengers with more seamless travel...
