yikes!! that is probably the worse insult one could get!! hahahaha
Thank you for the list of the interesting possibilities. Can we please get a video of how to find partner ability on Virgin’s website? I can’t seem to find anything except North America <–> London (ie even no intra-Europe). thank you
So it depends on the partner. There are two possibilities
A – The airline has awards that are searchable on Virgin Atlantic’s website. If, for example, you want to book an Air France award, you can go to the partner page (https://www.virginatlantic.com/en-US/flying-club/airline-partners/air-france) and see that it says “To spend Virgin Points on Air France flights, book direct with Virgin Atlantic” (under the “Ready To Book?” section)
You can then use an award searching tool like Seats. Aero or PointsYeah to help you find dates to possibly search for availability on Virgin Atlantic’s website.
B – The airline does not have awards that are searchable on Virgin Atlantic’s website. If, for example, you want to book an ANA award flight and you go to the partner page (https://www.virginatlantic.com/en-US/flying-club/airline-partners/all-nippon-airways) and see that it says “To spend Virgin Points on All Nippon Airways, get in touch with our Flying Club team who will be able to help book your trip.” (under the “Ready to book?” section), that means you cannot search for that airline’s awards on Virgin Atlantic’s website.
You’ll have to find partner availability elsewhere (in ANA’s case, maybe United or Air Canada and then call or chat Virgin Atlantic to see if they have the same availability to that flight.
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! I can find some award availability intra-Europe now.
