The best deal with virgin is to buy a 'companion ticket'. For 20 000 miles you can buy a ticket for a friend so long as you are travelling too and they just pay the taxes. You cant buy the cheapest economy ticket but we have just booked for next August and paid £750 for most of the tickets, £850 for Paul's and then Peter going as his 'companion' for 20000 miles plus £54 taxes so saved ourselves £600!
For the following August we will have built up enough miles for 2 of us to take companions.

A friend has just used 30,000 points to get a premium economy ticket to Orlando next May; worked out £512 each which they were more than pleased with having just paid £500 for an economy ticket in September.
