Some relief coming for people trying to book Reward Flights.

Right guys, I have had this clarified for me today -

The reward sector of the flight can be either the outbound flight OR the return flight!

So you can travel out on an X or lower class economy fare (if available), and return on a reward flight in T, U, or G class.

Any idea how you book these? I've looked on the website but there's nothing showing.Are they only bookable via FC?

Yep, give Flying Club a call. Because it's a trial at the moment it's only available over the telephone.

You can still book round trip rewards though? (pardon me if I'm being a little ...slow!)

Yes - this is an option if there is availability outbound but not in-bound.

...or if you don't have enough points for a round trip.

Please excuse me if I've missed it in trawling thru lots of posts this evening, but does anyone know when the trial will cease or is it ongoing?

Thanks in advance for any info.

It's ongoing at the moment.

StillRedHot has posted another thread, with updated information about this scheme - here.

So that we can keep the discussion current, and all in one place, I will lock this thread and ask that the debate continues there.

The most restrictive fare rules will apply on these tickets.

So you get no refund due to the restrictions.
Better ways of viewing reward availability would be much more useful IMHO. Other airlines manage this very well and it's always puzzled me why VS can't /won't.

I have to agree with this, somehow I did manage to come across a screen that showed reward seat availability today, of course I called to book two seats and one had gone, whilst my situation was kind off unique today and I do understand not getting the seats (20 minutes on hold with premier again) the calendar that did show up did show the total number of seats available for September, October and part of November.

While I am sure the total number of seats available was at one point higher, after seeing that, I will be taking my revenue business to another airline.
