Hi everyone,

Plotting my next trip(s) and hoping one of you might be able to help me with some flight options please (Try as I might, the ITA Matrix confuses me...)

I'm hoping to fly to either Tokyo or Bangkok. Am in London, but can do ex-DUB easily. If possible, I'd like to fly VS (or partners) and upgrade from M class; or, if it's more worth my while to do UC from ex-DUB, do that instead.

Essentially, my question is what's possible on VS, for either destination? What would be the best value all-round (including earned miles and points)? And how would I go about booking either option?

Hoping someone can help me with this. Thank you in advance

You can't fly to Japan anymore via Virgin and have to fly via ANA or BA instead.

Been checking your route map Blob55 ?

No need to talk down to me. :/

If you want to go to Bangkok and Tokyo, just take a virgin flight to the former and fly to the latter from there.

To Tokyo you could try ANA but I think with partners it has to be a full miles booking so no M fares + using miles to Business class.

Not sure about BKK

Have a look at the airline partners on the VS website and how you can spend miles with them

That is predicated on being able to get a partner reward in the first place though!

Blob please do some research.

Your posting rubbish is the reason why people are mocking you.

VS does not and has never flown to Bangkok.

You could also do an M class upgrade to Hong Kong or Shanghai, and then connect with a partner airline and pay for whatever class you'd like to your final destination, as it'd only be a short flight. However, you probably won't be able to book them all on the same PNR, so good travel insurance is a must in case of delays.

Which might be the best way to travel the longest leg in comfort.

ISTBC corrected but on all of VS's partner airlines you cannot use FC miles to upgrade from one cabin to another from a fare based ticket to a reward ticket like you can on VS itself. You have to be booked in the cabin you want at the time of booking using miles.

Now is BKK a route VS flies to, or no longer flies to, that is the question . Oh, that's right, VS has never flown there . Blob, good troll, next time try this thing via your web browser called 'Google'. Here is the link: www.google.co.uk, go on, ask it questions, you get lots of replies .
