Virgin Economy Miles

[djdigitald]

On my E-Ticket for our Recent flight with Virgin it says the following: -

Date Number Depart Arrive Class Status By
09FEB VS 15 LGW 12:30 16:55 MCO Economy (X) OK VS
23FEB VS 28 MCO 18:05 06:55 LGW Economy (X) OK VS

Does the (X) mean i am able to claim Miles on it?

Just write to Customer Services, and ask them to put your recent flights onto your miles account

If its an X clas ticket here the info you need........

X Economy Megasaver Fare/MilesPlusMoney

Flying Club Miles and Tier Points will be earned on this fare. 100% of mileage flown earned (125% for Flying Club Gold members). 2nd Lowest level of fare class for Economy, non flexible, non changeable and non-refundable. One of the 2 fare classes that are used for Economy Flying Club MilesplusMoney fares (MpM). There will need to be availability in this or the other MpM fares class (N) for you to be able to take advantage of MpM. MilesplusMoney tickets do not earn Tier Points or Flying Club miles regardless of whether its booked under N or X class. Advance Purchase will be required. This fare class is also utilised on all routes (except Delhi route – see N Class) for redemption of Select voucher, if there is no availability in X and a customer wishes to use a Select voucher – Virgin will manually check through the sold allocation of X Class to see how many are Select voucher redemptions, as they are allowed to oversell this class to take them up to a maximum of 4 Select voucher redemptions.

Does this help?[msnwink]

I really think Virgin should simplify their Flying miles reward system

You think the Miles of friends sort of thing when you recommend someone and you get extra points when they take a flight would mean you get the points.....no, your "recommended" person has to take a Qualifying flight.

They don't make that very clear.....

never something for nowt i suppose. the great deal we just used from charter travel had no miles attached, but when checking the virgin site before and after i booked , i couldve got air miles [msncry]. yeh right and paid between £1000 and £1500 more for the same seat

sometimes it works sometimes its just not worth it. still gonna try ringing them tho in a few months.....

I always book my Virgin flights through agents, I ring a selection who advertise on teletext until I find a reasonable offer.

Last April at checkin I handed over my Flying Club membership card and although they scanned it on my return the miles hadn't been added to my account.

I emailed them through the site giving the flight and seat numbers and a week later the miles were added.
