Small Change in Website Functionality

I've just noticed that when I login to FC I can now see both my VS booked and VH booked flights when using the 'Manage My Booking' option. I'm pretty sure that in previous years, even when I've added my FC number to a VH booked flight, they didn't automatically show up via my FC login.

Is this a recent change or is my memory playing tricks ?

I think you only see VH bookings automatically once they have been e-ticketed. I know I could see my last one about 2 weeks before departure (i.e. after it had been ticketed)

I can't currently see my VH booking without having to enter the PNR manually.

One thing I have noticed is that if you enter your PNR manually, it tells you how many miles/TP's you will earn but you don't see this info when you click a flight from your list of bookings.

Ah, could be that. Just under 4 weeks to the VH booked departure.

Another change in functionality is that I now default to the European site when I log on to the VS website. It's no big deal in itself although I am surprised that it still shows prices in pounds rather than euros when I do a dummy booking on the site. However when I go to the FC pages I am treated to such news as the inaugural flight to SYD and the very generous offer of a 2006 calendar!! [V]

I wish they had left me on the UK site

AFAIK you can log direct in to any site - it is just a change in address:
eg http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/
will take you to the UK site
http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/us/ will take you to the US site etc.

For the FC the equivalents are
https://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/f ... /index.jsp
or
https://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/us/f ... /index.jsp
etc.

Oh, I change back as soon as I log on, but the difference in the sites is astonishing - especially with regard to the FC pages

Just been checking this out - this may link to some very old pages.
Try changing to the Australia site for example - then looking at Flying Hub offers - they are years out of date!
If you classified as EU, it may be that you only see old pages when you transfer to GB etc.
