Hi guys,

Do Virgin have any direct flights, on a Virgin plane returning from NYC? All I can find is either a Delta flight, or changing at Boston. I find both of those options frustrating as I would prefer a full UC experience all the way.

Many thanksm

Yes, lots! Its their main transatlantic route. I think its 6 per day on VS metal from JFK... 7 if you include EWR.

What dates are you searching, and on which website?

Indeed - VS fly six times a day from JFK (a day flight at 08:15 and five red-eyes, basically hourly from 18:00 to 22:00) as well as once a day from Newark.

Thanks guys.

I'm using the Virgin website, dates towards the end of August. I've clicked the 'miles' option so perhaps that is where I'm going wrong. Looking to use my miles as I have enough for a return trip.

Ah well it’s entirely possible that there aren’t any ‘G’ reward seats available right now on your chosen dates. They do get snapped up.

Keep checking though - with so many flights on that route there’s a decent chance that more will become available.

Does it sometimes work out better to book two one way flights? Unless I'm missing something, it appears so for my search.

Hi - was in the same situation as yourself - no return flights available (G/Miles) TBH - ended up flying back on Delta tin - and had about 5hrs sleep. If a Red-Eye - i'd not be to bothered about whom is flying you back if up near the pointy end ....

Hopefully you find something thast works for you (though could be V hot in NYC August).

regards,

Yes, although you may end up paying more in taxes & fees (or you may pay less). Try doing a dummy booking for a return and two one-ways to compare.

But reward availability does tend to differ if you search for individual legs rather than a return.
