I am looking at flights to New York in January and booking via Delta but flying on VS metal is over £1200 less for the same flights

All part of the mystery that is airline pricing and allocation of fare buckets between partners.

Just book it!

LOL

If I book with Delta can I still use VS Miles to upgrade if there is availability? (fare is showing as W)

When I last asked the answer was no to upgrading, but you can use miles to purchase a full fare. It was 90,000 for an upper return to Atlanta. Virgin charge 80,000

I assume its Upper. What was the cost of the Delta fare... Out of interest.

Delta seem to be one of the ones who match the other fares in recent BA sales, when Virgin hasn't...

Nope, it is PE W fare code hence why I am looking to upgrade to UC

A DL 'W' fare is not the same as a VS 'W' fare even if the flight is on a VS plane.

You cannot use VS miles to upgrade a DL fare.

Ah, thank you for clearing that one up for me. Just waiting for work travel to come back with options before I get creative ;-)

I booked a VS UC fare to BOS which precisely matched the BA 2 for 2104 CW sale (and I didn't have to pay BA's seat tax).

Yay! I waited three years for the sale to come again, decided to book PE and suffered a few weeks ago. Won't be flying PE again, and won't be doing Vegas until a fare match like that one again.

Not even Vegas UC as low as 1800 quid in the last few years apart from that.

Of course, there's always via Dublin...
