Well guys, I just burnt 80,000 miles on an Upper Class RT reward ticket for my wife plus £64 taxes, still have to BUY my own ticket [:(]. We fly out on VS7 4th September to LAX returning on 17th September on VS8 - the suites should be installed by then so it will be a real treat. Seat allocation opens 8th March.
After some deliberation I determined this was the best way to maximise the miles. As the more seasoned VS FF'ers here will know, if you use miles to by a companion ticket you have to pay full fare for the paid ticket, so whilst it would have only been 65,000 for UC I would be looking at a substantial hike in the price I can get a non flex (Z class) ticket for. Currently looking at £2050 and with plenty of availability so I will wait a while. I wonder if Pix, Mr Mannion, TBS or BC can suggest a TA who would do a good deal for a poor Silver?
Anyway have to fit in VS to Vegas in March and to Miami in June (with onward AA to NAS for a week at Sandals RB [8D] ) so looking forward to next year but as we have two weeks in Tenerife over Christmas and New Year, I mustn't wish my life away.
