Original Routing Credit on Delta/VS

Hi

I'm after a little bit of advice/help.

I was due to be on a delta flight booked with a VS codeshare Friday evening from IAD to JFK and then onto MAN. However, due to storms around JFK a good number of flights were cancelled - both my internal and transatlantic flights on delta were cancelled with no possibility of getting back to MAN on a delta operated flight on Friday. Instead they routed me on Lufthansa IAD-MUC-MAN.

I'm not a member of LH FF so those points are of little use to me. I was wondering whether I would have any success claiming the original routing credit for virgin flying club which I would have gained on the delta operated flights? - I'm towards the end of my rolling membership year and this flight would have renewed gold.

Anyone had any success in a similar situation in the past?

Thanks in advance!

You should get ORC. I did in April when VS rebooked me on to a BA flight back from Vegas. Just call FC and ask.

You could try social media. The VS twitter team added my VS miles when they bumped me off and onto a BA flight to BGI.
