Great news.

The suites must be the biggest reason [8D][y]:D

Just hope the levels can be sustained.

Thanks Pete,

I wonder what the split of J, D & Z fares is... They don't mention any increase in Business Class revenue in the release[?]


(At least it explains why reward/upgrade seats have been so difficult to come by recently... :D)

Great news! well done VS and the UCS product [y].

Pity that VS did not credit V-Flyer with bumping up interest and invoking "UCSitus" amongst many of its members - many of whom have subsequently gone on to sell their own grandmothers so as to continue flying UCS[:o)]:D[:o)]

Interesting point. I wonder how many of our number now turn left exclusively?

Great news to hear regarding the increase in revenue. UCS is a totally unique product unlike anything I've experienced before. It does make other airlines business class seat look like a Y seat.

Ermmmm that would be me then [:I]. Joined V-Flyer 14th Jan 2004 and the last time I flew W was June 20th 2003 on an A343 to JFK. It's been J ever since then [:0]

Well lets hope they can keep those flyers,way to go VS

56% load in UC and you still can't get an upgrade? Sounds a little off to me,I would figure around 75-80%,makes me wonder how many people walk away from a PE + upgrade fare

Personally I think its because so many people heard about Bangers & Mash on VS and switched just for that. [:o)]

That aside this is good news, and one that will definately help VS i should imagine. Would be interesting to see a break-down of the increase though, as said into classes but also times of year - how much did the triple miles offer help etc.
