The tour would require 12,800 Avios points per person, which would be out of reach if you only had 6000 Avios but redeemable if you had the free American Express Gold Card which offers 10,000 points (or 12,000 points if you use this link). I think I’d already decided that our long-haul 241’s in First were becoming increasingly dissapointing and difficult to nab at 355 daya and it seems that future trips might be for cash perhaps in Business in other airlines or possibly First if decent value. Is it bad value? It is mandatory to procure user consent prior to running these cookies on your website. Some adblockers stop articles on Head for Points from displaying properly. Perhaps the flow of cash out was higher than they found comfortable. It depends on how well capitalised Virgin Group Loyalty Company is. )I’m in the same boat by the way.
However the cost of avios acquisition made it worthwhile because I was seeing the desire to use the avios for BA F diminishing at the same time as I had fears of losing them. Previously you said it was Virgin Red, but a simple search of Virgin Red’s website finds this to be incorrect.
Apart from anything else First class seats are not released by BA at 355 days out…that lie on your part has unraveled that entire unseemly piece you have written.A sad and rather nasty post.
I know a 2nd reader who DID cancel a voucher booking.
British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Vueling and LEVEL operate under their separate brand names.For details of the current aircraft operated by the group, see the fleet details for each of the main operating subsidiaries - It was announced in July 2018, that Avios.com would close to British Airways Executive Club members, with all points automatically transferred to British Airways.Purchase of Vueling, and creation of IAG Cargo (2012)Purchase of Vueling, and creation of IAG Cargo (2012) As Rob says, poor value but this was an emergency. At the other end of the spectrum would be a similar redemption on Air Italy which would require more points and more taxes… Yes you heard that right, British Airways will charge you even more taxes for an Air Italy flight.As we’ve seen, there’s an excellent choice of 29 Avios partner airlines which you can tap into should you wish. As mentioned, it’s easy to transfer Avios points between British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus using the ‘combine my Avios’ function on each of the frequent-flyer programme websites – a full guide can be found here.

Secondly there is currently no policy in place to deal with the points should VA fail, although they expect something would be sorted out.Ee, no. It gives more pleasure than the flights. I’ve just spoken to Virgin Atlantic about what would happen if they went under. He wanted cash so the call centre set up a dummy booking which was then cancelled for £35 and he was told everything would then come back as it would have originally.I would have done an article but I can’t get to the bottom of how the vouchers work. Sorry to see virgin go as they aren’t just BAs home competition but they genuinely offer something better in many cases.So the 110,000 Virgin Atlantic air miles I’ve accumulated over 9mths, basically aren’t worth a toss?After doing some digging I’ve found that the voucher I accidentally triggered for my avios return flight to Florida in May will result in a non cancellable flight (although it can be amended for a fee).
Buying 10,000 Avios points would normally cost you £175, a rate of 1.75p per point. So actually, it is their fault! Should you – can you?
You may not however know that you can use points across 29 Avios Partner Airlines.Most will know that the perks of Avios points can be excellent, allowing people who would never have been able to experience premium travel to fly in Business and First Class suites (read how Hannah and I flew First Class for With a total of 29 British Airways Avios airline partners, I would be amazed if you couldn’t find a suitable flight for using Avios on partner airlines… So what airlines can I use Avios on? I also know 10 readers who tried to swap their voucher when they realised the restrictions and failed, although I am 90% sure that taking BA to CEDR arbitration would see you win.That said …. Our luxury hotel booking partnership offers you GUARANTEED extra benefits compared with booking direct. I know how it works.Bottom line – Virgin Red legally owns your points but has no money to fund redemptions if the airline crashes.I recommend looking up what is happening to Virgin Velocity in Oz which is a similar structure. Would be very interested in your comment that you knew someone who had successfully argued for a refund after a voucher had been triggered.Those are the voucher rules. Nothing we didn’t know, another senseless post that adds nothing to the community.I’ve suspected that they’ve been told to keep their slippers at the door for a long time now.
