Some readers may find some info below interesting, this may have been discussed already in the forums and not worthy of a new thread ? here is a letter I sent virgin atlantic
To virgin atlantic.
I have seen that you recently uploaded Delta airlines flights to your website making them bookable online which is a big help, making it possible to book routes like JFK – LAX, JFK – CDG and more [I also realized that while you have a separate redemption rate chart for Delta airlines, on routes that Virgin flies, for example NYC – LHR the mileage rate is the same as for virgin and it does not go according to the delta chart, which is a bit interesting].
However I realized that while in the search engine you have an alphabetical list of airports making it possible to put in many destinations, certain destinations don’t show up, for example TLV, ZRH, BRU, making it impossible to book online the delta flights to those destinations. If you could upload those [and all cities delta fly to] onto your website, making it possible to book those delta flights online would be appreciated.
Sincerely
P.s for dansdeals readers, on international flights the availability on virgin website seems to match delta.com, however on domestic routes there is a vast difference with delta having much better availability for lower rates [and can make a difference on international rates, for example a search from NYC-CDG, didn’t pull up on delta.com any flights with connections only nonstop for high rates, however on virginatlantic.com it routed through Boston for 62.5k inn business (the domestic portion charges separately) !!].
Some bargains are USA to EUROPE [Besides LHR as mentioned above] for 50k in business with no surcharges ! and with current Amex 30% transfer promo I makes it 39k ! if your willing to book far out in advance you can find great availability, also changes or cancellations are only $50 up till the flight, unlike delta.
there are also amazing bargains to be had for ANA flights ....[over the phone]
