While VA availability doesn't appear to be as good as it used to be, there are still seats. Perhaps have a read of this thread for some tips on how to find them: http://www.australianfrequentflyer..../velocity-points-scam-how-optimise-77771.html

It sort of says it all that you need tips to find award seats on Virgin.

patience and flexibility is the key. Also be persistent with your browsing. I basically checked 10 times a day to get the exact dates for next June and booked the sectors seperately as they were available.

Don't forget that VA have the guaranteed family international award (4 pax) if you book 6 months out. At least for Platinum and it is economy, but it's there - I don't think that they changed it.https://www.google.com/search?q=guarantee&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiVxdaD0dTOAhXGyyYKHRjMBTwQvwUIGygA

Great knowledge base here

I've been monitoring the trends with LAX and it seem that J is showing up around from 6 days out till T-24.

The guarantee is only for Y though, not J.

I am looking to change the dates on tickets I have booked to go to Eurpoe next year, and I can't find a single Y ticket, let alone the 2 x J that I'm after. I think I need to call, but I thought this was fixed??

Lol, thanks, have read all 3 threads! Much of the discussion is US-centric, and I can't find any availability for Manchester
I thought it was fixed, or at least improved. Yes, I know it wasn't as of the 19th, but how long does it take?! (Don't answer that ;-) )

FYI for anyone (everyone?) else frustrated by this:

Just called velocity and there was 2 x J (or more) availability for both flights on the first day I asked the consultant to check. He said the website problem was a known issue, but he was under the impression it had been fixed, and maybe the glitch had come back? Apparently I was the first person to mention it to him.

So good news, availability is there: now I'm just waiting for the 331 days so I can book!

Last update- tickets booked for the date and flight I wanted. 331 sleeps till we leave!
