I want to see what Virgin has available in award flights, but it's not letting me see because I don't have any points in my account.
Is there a way around this?

Call them they’ll give you the preferred for free
Have you had success with that? I tried and they wouldn't give me without a charge.

You just search online? I never log in when searching for flights… really should not be difficult

I'm Flying a VA TLV-JFK through LHR on premium, and want to get upgraded into upper class.
All reps say its sold out, but was wondering if there was another way to get upgraded on this route(e.g. What to be specifically asking in airport)?

From my experience if it doesn't offer bid online your fare is ineligible or it is sold out

If you want to see if it is truly sold out search that flight and see if it is available (remember that doesn't mean it is not full fare which often is not upgrade eligible

They may release upgrade inventory closer to the flight

Cant figure out how to cancel a flight, booked award ticket on delta metal, when i click cancel it says unable to, delta website cant cancel, so i filled out a form for request of refund. It says it will take up to 30 days to process but flight is in 3 days. Is that an issue? Something to do to get this done faster?

What's the cheapest way to book VS J JFK-TLV?

VS 90,500 + $980
DL 357,500 + $60
AF 122,500 + €237.95

Anything reasonable?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Did you price check on sapphire reserve? Sometimes makes more sense than redemption and surcharges, especially cause youll earn miles
