Fare codes booked via Air France but on VS metal

[mitchja]

Just booked a round trip LHR>LAX>HNL then HNL>SEA>LHR for October. VS wanted silly money compared to the fare prices when I started looking last week. Found a better fare price booking via Air France.

Here's a breakdown of my Itinerary all ticketed by AF:

AF6756 (VS7) LHR>LAX op'ed by VS (I fare 5468 miles)
AF7922 (DL443) LAX>HNL op'ed by DL (I fare 2551 miles)
KL6837 (DL440) HNL>SEA op'ed by DL (I fare 2675 miles)
KL4823 (VS106) SEA>LHR op'ed by VS (I fare 4813 miles) - 200 TP's

Looks like direct VS prices are higher as they are now only selling D fares on the outbound flight(s).

Anyone care to hazards a guess at the total TP's I'll earn as I cant get my head round the VS/AF/KL/DL tables. The only one I'm sure of is the final SEA>LHR leg at 200 TPs!!

Interestingly, DL have swapped out their older 767-300 Delta One lie-flat seats for both the LAX>HNL and HNL>SEA flights. It's the newest A321neo First Class recliner seat now. The VS106 is showing as being an A339 so far which is unusual for SEA as well.

TP I don know but SEA is programmed to operate Neo for Winter 2025 season , same as IAD. IAD was programmed to operate Neo this winter schedule but changed to 787,.

For info VS are wanting £300 for the Retreat Suite upgrade on the SEA>LHR leg.

For £300 I’d book that. I think for a long flight it is well worth the extra money.
I did it right at the start when it was £200 to Tampa.

Only downside is that they are right at the front of the galley (noise/light). But staff are more attentive as Row 1. But one of the last off from UC cabin.. where I prefer to be up and off especially at airport where it’s know for crazy immigrantion.

Thanks, I probably will book it nearer the time. It was £253 for ATL>MAN coming home the other week. I've done both Retreat seats now and I prefer 1G over 1D as I prefer my seat being that little bit further away from the aisle.

For my Feb JFK>LHR flight, VS are asking £325!
