Any way to book Virgin Australia one-way award?

[Side incomer]

Delta requires Roundtrip.
Virgin Atlantic looks like they require round trip for partner awards.

Anyway to get it as a one-way?

[AJK]

SQ?

SQ would be the way to go.
Any idea how much MEL-LAX would be? And would they add a UA segment to NY for the same rate?

Wow. 120K one-way more than a RT on US
Delta would give for 150K a RT

Any cheaper way?

Yeah, assuming you can find low availability. Good luck with that

Delta has it available for these dates. The problem is that UA has it as well for one-way, and Using Delta would cost $950 in YQ.

Aren't DL partner awards always the low tier?

Using Delta would cost $950 in YQ.

$950 for one-way? Even for R/T that sounds excessive...

But hows does the fact that UA has it for one-way help with your need of using VA miles?

he is saying he would use UA one way VA the other bc united only has availability one way. At least im assuming

That's right.
VA for the RT wouldn't make sense: 1. outbound from USA has massive YQ. 2. delta NYC-LAX is never available on the lowest level (at least not in business), Vs. UA where you can get the whole way NYC-MEL.

[YOSEF]

You can book DL for 125K. Biz one-way, coach back.

Actually pretty easy on these flights

Can you book a VA flight using flying blue?

thanks

No. No.

[SHMIDT]

Can I book a delta flight from Aussie at all using flying blue? Perhaps from Sydney...?

Delta, yes when it's low miles.

Good luck finding low miles on SYD-LAX route.

Ok thanks,
This is a shot in the dark, but could I book a one way virgin australia flight using Virgin Atlantic? I know it probably is not possible just thougt I'd ask.
Also can I use Amex MR from America to transfer to virgin australia ? I know you can make such a transfer from an Aussie Amex account....?

Yes one-way doable with Virgin Atlantic, though the partner bookings is a bit of a pain.

US MR does not go to Virgin Australia Velocity.

[SHMIDT]

So, I could use 47k UR or MR and transfer to Virgin ATLANTIC and then book a one way virgin AUSTRALIA flight from MEL to LAX ?

I see it pretty clearly here: http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/frequentflyer/fcpartners/airlines/virginaustralia.jsp

I just want to make sure I am reading right 

Thanks
