Anyone found this before,

Looking at dates to MCO next October and finding it cheaper to book upper class through continental website on VS flights, roughly 180pp difference to take same flight?

Anybody know of any major disadvantages to booking it this way?

Not that I can see. Just like buying a flight from expedia/opodo etc

Thanks, I've just booked myself 4 upper seats for October!

I thought VS would price match anyone selling their flights cheaper, or does that not apply to codeshare arrangements like CO?

I don't think you get VS CH access though do you with CO booked flights on VS metal?

VS won't price match other airlines. They will only price match their own fares against VS fares sold via other agents (Expedia etc)

Only applies to UK websites. Plus it only applies to the base fare element and excluding the VS surcharge and fees etc,

They would price match the fare but only after booking, you had to pay the higher fare then claim it back the tax element was identical just the base fare was cheaper, I spent 40 mins on the phone to upper class sales, they confirmed you get access to the clubhouse and all other perks, the clincher in the end was that continental didn't charge for using credit card where as virgin wanted over 140 pounds credit card charge!
