V-Flyer

Sorry if this has been posted anywhere already... but not all of these are mentioned on the VS special offers page!

For travel between the 20th and 30th December (return latest 12th Jan) there's a lot of UC fares available for £1006... New York, San Francisco, LA.. Probably more destinations too, some bargains there gotta say!

Just wish I was able to take advantage of them!

Wow UC to LAS.for £985 from MAN, that's what I call a sale fare!!

Wow! There are some incredible fares there. Hong Kong for £1009, JNB for £1006, Tokyo the same. I'm really sorry now that I have a trip to Dubai coming up on Jan 12

I checked it out. It's only available on about 4 dates! Mostly with a return on a Thursday, although there is one with a Sunday return

HL, it's so tempting! The best UC fares I've seen in a long while!

Even though the dates only cover very short period, its still worth a look!

How can you book a UC fare for a flight on 20th December when according to the T&Cs you have to book 28 days in advance

Some fantastic fares - I hear BA have a sale beginning tomorrow too!!

But £985 return in UC to Vegas is a steal..... y)

Of course the BA sale fares are now available.......

I wondered that and did a dummy booking for the 20th and it worked! y)

Except that it's only available on about four flights

Virgin Holidays also have some crazy Upper Class offers on packages as well :0

Just checked the same dates I fly to IAD (out Dec 28th back Jan 1st) and believe it or not, return Upper Class upgrades are now less than Premium Economy upgrades???????:

Premium economy return upgrade = £570.24
Upper Class return upgrade = £452.48

Guess who's calling V Hols tomorrow to see if I can change my IAD trip from PE to Upper!!

Bah, I've booked like 6 months in advance for a NY break in PE in Vegas and now they've offered the lowest UC flights for years.

If they gave me a chance of an upgrade I'd end up paying the 2Kish total price for a UC (including my PE ticket). But they don't.

It concerns me though that it seems that a whole lot of flights seems to be reserved for Virgin Holidays, I bet if I'd booked via them, I'd be sitting with a UC ticket...

If you booked with VS, why not just call and ask to upgrade? If there is availabIlity of Z class then they'll just upgrade your K to Z with you paying the difference! I've done thi many times!

Watch out for those T's & C's...at bottom of the page :w

Especially point 2:

Damn those local taxes, especially when you have to pay before you've even booked :0 ):

Another fine execution VS oo)

Some amazing prices!

I think the fares match the BA £2012/pair fares -- presumably an Olympic tie-in.

I am sure we discussed the 28-day rule last time there was a quick UC sale. For these very special offers the detailed fare rules waive that condition. No complaints from me!

Speechless at those prices! Just unsure I want to brave the very real risk of a snowstorm in NY - and west coast is a bit of a stretch for just a few days....

Just looked at BA - wider range of destinations (inc Vegas from LHR!) Wonder how warm Atlanta is this time of year????

Wow - just managed to nab 2 flights to HKG for new year at £1006 each. Never seen prices like that before.

Wow these prices are just irresistible.. Just grabbed a return to sfo... Seriously u just cant say no to these prices

Amazing value. Just did a dummy booking on VS website and it seems like the sale fares are running out already.

Wish I had sufficient disposable income to chuck £1k per person at a UC trip on a whim

Like the new offers page design;

LA fares from £1006 - with travel up to Dec 2012 - wonder if that's a typo? Very tempting...

Looking for a wee birthday present for yourself were you??

Thanks all! Just bagged my Xmas hols tickets home for £1010.93, JFK-LHR! Best value I've ever seen. Another ~16k miles in the bank, woohoo.

And on the Asia Lowest Fares page the HK UC link takes you to the Shanghai page!

BTW I don't like this sale fares section on the new site. I get lost in the navigation.

I agree - too many clicks through to get to the info you actually need

Corking. I booked the vegas NY in PE over 6 months ago from Gatwick, and for the change fee + 130 quid, I now fly from the (closer airport) of) Manchester in Upper.

Top job v-flyer, you've made my New Year!

Checked with V Hols today and they said a big fat no and are using that fantastic 'new customers only' excuse. Thought it was only banks and Sky TV that used that one!!!!
