the dont show avail for vs, only that it could be requested... which means nothing.

Virgin has better Upper Class availability from their other destinations, like IAD.
http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/us/whereintheworld/index.jsp
Search nonstop only reward segments on CO.com to find availability.

You can't book VS online with ANA, I know most people are allergic to the telephone, but you'll have to call.
