PHL - LHR $456
« on: August 20, 2012, 02:39:56 PM »
Saw this on Flyertalk. A lot of dates available in October - January. I may get myself one.

Flight is ticketed on Virgin Atlantic but operated by US Airways.

I don't think you get full mileage credit for this fare.

From Vflyer.com

Flying Club Miles and Tier Points will be earned. 50% of mileage flown earn for all passengers (100% for Flying Club Silver and 150% for flying Club Gold members) and 2TP's per sector.

According to the US Airways Website you will only be accruing 50% of the miles and you can not earn on Aegean because Virgin Atlantic is not a partner with them.

I think you mean US :P (unless you're treating me to a flight :P)...

Methinks you're incorrect and it goes by the ticketing carrier.

Is there any way to add a NYC-PHL? ex-PHL really kills this for NYCers (I realize I can use 9k BA, but still)

A "shod" it's not VS metal, or I'd actually consider it.

So what happens in this case if you submit the US boarding passes to UA? Anyone know definitively?

I don't have much interest in booking the ticket to travel, but do you think they would cancel/ offer a voucher?
Work is what you do between vacations.

I don't think its cheap enough for them to cancel. I flew on VS metal a few months back for $520 RT. This is certainly cheap, but not a "metzia"

Just use Avios BOS-DUB once you're doing that.

Not if my destination is LHR and I don't want to keep airport hopping...

Ok, but I don't see why LHR is more of a destination than DUB for me.
