So I am in a bit of a dilemma here
Let me explain the scenario ...
a, I currently have 39145 miles
b, I am sitting in Shanghai with the return section of my economy (flexi) ticket to London which will take 30,000 miles to upgrade to upper class.
c, when I get to London I also need to fly back in 10-14 days, however I will only have 9145 miles + 7150 = 16295
d, this 16295 will be too low for even a upgrade from Premium Economy to Upper Class (London > Shanghai) (which is a minimum of 20,000)
so my diemma is how can I manage to do Shanghai > London (Upper class) and London > Shanghai (Upper class)
What is the easiest way of earning some additional miles.
I do have the Virgin Atlantic credit card which earns 2 miles per £ spent, but am not sut sure how soon £s spent get turned into miles, I also have an amex gold but again am not sure how quick the £s spent turn into miles ...
any advice, apart from planning ahead next time
gracias
