V-Flyer

Is the only 'benefit' getting x2 the miles when booking with Black credit card (over the phone)? I'm sure I read somewhere you got a discount also?

I live in NI, so would be great to connect through Dublin and save a pound or two in tax - is this possible with VH?

Thanks, Stevey

Yes, you get a discount based on your level of flying club membership and miles based on how much you spend.

Red: 7% discount and 1 mile per £1
Silver: 7% discount and 2 miles per £1
Gold: 10% discount and 2 miles per £1

The discount is applied online when you enter your passenger details and flying club number

Paying with the black card will get you 4 miles per £1 on top of what you'd earn above.

As for connecting in Dublin, haven't a clue I'm afraid! The website doesn't seem to include Belfast as a starting point (which is odd given the seasonal BFS-Orlando service). Might be worth calling them regarding that or visiting a branch.

If you mean APD then you need to startyour trip in DUB not connect from a flight via Belfast.

You cannot book a series of flights Belfast-DUB-XXX because you'd still pay APD.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I'd be happy enough to start in Dublin, only 1.5 hrs by car. Might call in and ask

Thank you!
