Thanks guys!

I can confirm the VS UC sale is on y)

I checked my booking yesterday VS19/20 in H/S fares in August and the upgrade price for the return leg alone was over £900, I checked this morning after reading this post and was able to upgrade the whole trip for £827 :)

Thanks again for posting.

Typical VS - according to that page they are doing LHR-LAS now not LGW ii) and I love how the MAN-LAS fares are available until 30th November even though they are stopping the service towards the end of October!

I was wondering when the switch from LGW to LHR on the LAS happened! Clearly they don't check the accuracy! Perhaps VS should start asking v-flyers to check their new pages first!! :)

And several of us have told them in the past when they get this sort of thing wrong but they never learn!

:D :D

I am losing track of the slots and planes discussions, but if they pull DXB then would LAS really be viable? Haven't they just cut some of the seasonal flights?

It would be bookable on the website if they were advertising fares... have to go with the balls up logic.

Maybe the IT department have inadvertently started revealing routes, as an Easter egg hunt!

Top prize to anyone who can spot Rio or Bangkok on the short haul schedule!
Second prize if you can get Beijing on the flying club home page!

We really should have a master thread collecting all the web site errors, with a score card tracking how long it takes VS to correct them.

Was about to book an Easter break to NYC last night for £1500 UC return....this was available on the 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th and returning on any flight I wanted on any day (also a selection of flights available on the outbound dates)

Now all of a sudden over night all the outbound seats have gone from £807 up to £2,500'ish and the total is over 3K :0

EF is still showing lots of seats available, did they really all go just overnight? Any chance these will come back down to their original price before the sale ends?? :?

I feel mortified for not booking now :#

Have you tried again? It may have been because the sale was scheduled to end at midnight Tuesday! But seems to have been extended till the 19th so you may be in luck!
