Hi All, I have Air Miles and wanted to look at Price plus Miles for 23rd Sept- 7th October from LGW-MCO, it is saying No Flights!! Can any body shed any light on why I can not get flights. Checked these flights a week ago with plenty of availability.

Welcome,
Its likely the M+M fares have gone..they only allocate a small number.
The no flights message is VS's IT speak for no seats available in this class.
The MCO routes are very popular and also very hard to pin down M+M seats and Reward seats especially for a close as this Sept. Keep looking they may offer more but no guarantees and better still be flexible with your dates.
General rule of thumb, if you see them- book them..!
Good luck

There are only so many miles and money seats on each flight, once they have been sold then that's it.
You might still be able to still buy seats with cash only, but just because they are available doesn't mean they will allow you to use miles or miles and money.

It's not that there are no flights, it's that there is no availability. The number of reward seats and Miles+Money seats for each flight is small and only a few are released depending on the loads of people buying seats. Your best bet is to call VS and ask about availability and to keep checking the website

Working on this rule of thumb, I managed to bag a UC rewards flight to and from JNB for April next year on exactly the dates that I wanted. They were booked as soon as I checked availability..they weren't there 2 days before I booked and they aren't there any more. Keep looking, maybe try to be flexible with your dates, and good luck.

Hello lufcgirl and welcome to V-Flyer. You don't say which cabin you are looking for. With only 14 seats in the upper class cabin it is rare for there to ever be Miles plus money fares available. PE miles plus money fares are available the day before and the day after your dates, and look like they represent a saving of about £400 pp over the cheapest other fare available, although of course they don't earn miles. Economy is available on your exact dates, about £100 pp cheaper.
You could fly PE Manchester to Orlando on your exact dates, again there is no UC availability.
Most of the time, having a degree of flexibility helps you to get the best fares, booking late on and having rigid travel dates nearly always costs more.
Regards

I've secured reward seats going from MCO & LHR on various occasions only 2 or 3 weeks before travelling as more seats have been released
. However, don't ever count on this.
happy planning.

If you're going the day after (24th Sept) from LGW, you'll be on the same flight as me!!

Usually I find that searching for reward seats online, when seats are not available close to your selected dates then it will display a no flight available message.
If there are seats available within the month of your selected dates then it will throw up a selection of available dates. I doubt there will be any available reward seats a day before or after your selected dates ex LGW.
