I've never seen this before but maybe it's par for the course.

So, you are booking flights ... and don't notice that UC is cheaper than PE....

The Virgin website does it for you.

Lol, their new flight matrix showing the booking classes side by side.... makes sense if there is a sale on of one fare type and not the others. y) y)

Hold up... the VS website doing something right??? Did I wake up in an alternate dimension this morning... are pigs flying? :P

I think it has done this for quite a while - I've seen it on a few occasions. It is nice when it happens! NB though that you can end up in a more restrictive bucket than you anticipated - always pays to check that.

Have seen this a few times before, but this is more common with BA

Yeah, I remember that in a BA sale a couple of years ago, I was booking a trip to Singapore in economy (leisure), and then an irresistible price of £800rtn CW came up, compared to WT at £1000. Bargain!

I think if I ever saw that I would spend so much time taking it in in disbelief that I'd loose the seats anyway :-(

Just wish the reward flight booking engine could be a bit more clever instead of throwing out the usual 'Your choice of reward seat is not available, please search again and think about alternative dates, routes or cabin classes. Alternatively you may wish to revisit our site another day, as reward seats often become available nearer to departure.' which actual translates to 'I cannot be ar*ed to look for any flights for you today, find some yourself'
