I have a return trip sold and ticketed by VS, LHR to ATL and onward to Key West, transatlantic sectors were originally VS metal both ways (UC reward G's) and DL first class domestics (cash paid). All flights on a single ticket/PNR. I always use 17.5K miles each way to book a CDC from home to LHR and back again.
VS have now switched the original outbound VS103 to DL31 (note not codeshare), still all on one ticket sold by VS. I went to book my CDC's and was told that I can absolutely use the UC drive through check-in for the DL flight but would need to call a separate number to book and would not be able to pay with miles, ie. I'd need to book my own transport. VS were happy to book me a reward CDC for the trip home at the end.
Surely to goodness, if I'm on a single through ticket with both the DL31 and VS104 paid for with miles I should be able to use miles for both CDC's? Any thoughts?
Thanks
James
