Using Velocity points for Virgin Atlantic reward

[robynb]

Hi does anyone know how this works? I know you have to call Virgin Aus to book, which I've tried but they just ask you which flight I want and then tell me if its bookable or not. Any idea what flights I can use my Velocity points on (eg is it only Virgin Atlantic metal or others)?
Thanks in advance

Your best bet is to use VS/DL’s website to search for reward seats then call up VA to book. Still no guarantee that VA have access to those seats but according to anecdotal evidence from a friend it worked for a transatlantic flight from US into LHR.

Why would you have to call to book, unless it's HA or SA? Use the website.

To book Virgin Atlantic flights with Velocity points you need to call up.

Yes I know I need to call up Virgin Australia for Virgin Atlantic (VS) reward bookings.

Without having every flight thats available on hand and sitting on the phone with the wonderful VA staff for many hours, just wondering if anyone knows which VS flights (or their partners), can be booked with Velocity points. The previous flight I asked them about when I called (which was available as a VS reward - and it was on VS metal) wasn't available as a Velocity reward.

Thanks - I'm looking specifically to flights available to book with Velocity points under the VS (Virgin Atlantic) program.. not Velocity Rewards.

Sorry if I’ve misunderstood but with Velocity points you first need to check for availability of Virgin Atlantic award availability on the VS website. Best to check for dates around the one you are after and also for any other ports nearby. Write down all the details of flight numbers, times, dates etc and then call Velocity to book. VA may not have access to everything that you see on the VS website so be prepared to be flexible and you arm yourself with a list of flights that would be suitable and hopefully one comes back in the affirmative for you
