Reward Seat Checker

I have been keeping an eye on reward seats for late next year, It looks like virgin revenue team take a break from the 24th with no new reward seats released since then.

However last night and this morning when I search for any reward seat on any route I get the following error:

There are no flights available for October. Please try another month.

Anyone else getting this, I wonder if they are trying to catch things up following Christmas or if they are all still on their jollies and it has fallen over :?

I'm not sure what is happening with the website, but can tell you that when I called up on 27th to book some Gs (not for me, sadly, but as a gift to the MIL), the VS agent was able to see more Gs than I could online. So it could be that their IT guys are taking an, err, "well-deserved" break, and their website needs updating...

I suggest you give them a call and see what they say.

Hello, I've been looking everyday at Manchester - Orlando, and I'm getting this message today. I've tried it for lots of different dates so it must be a website blip!

Same problem here. I've been checking numerous times daily for reward seats MAN to MCO in July/August. Probably going to have to settle for PE seats due to availability but as of last night there are no reward seats at all showing for these months.......

I get the same issue when looking for reward flights in Nov 15 for LHR-LAX. In fact I have looked at August, Sept, Oct & Nov and get the same "no flights" message which looks very odd to me!

Virgin's IT playing up again?

I didn't get any error messages, but I've been checking availability to HKG for a while and it was showing no UC reward availability at all past about March/April. Checked today and it seems like they released UC reward seats up to at least September (I only checked that far ahead) all at once... So I think they very recently did a spot of housekeeping!
