Jose Eber Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Just in case anyone has a hankering like me to do a UK trip check out these fares: Virgin Atlantic Fare Special For a while they had 1st class fare discounts as well (waiting for that to pop up again) but lately seem to just have economy.

ParkTrips Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I've heard Virgin is an awesome airline to fly, can anyone confirm? Damned ending date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 ^I flew 2 Orlando on Virgin once and it was the best flight ive ever been on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I used to do six to eight long haul flights a year with Virgin Atlantic and they really were much better than the other airlines I've used (Delta, BA, etc). I'm not overly keen on flying but the staff and amenities were always pretty good and made it much easier for me. Shame I can't use my employee discount for you guys for the June trip.

coasterzak Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Speaking of good deals, how about the AirTran deal with medium sized cups and free flights? Now that is something to look into!

pvcoasterguy Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Another sale fare, this time from United for the people near Chicago. They have an awesome e-fare deal almost every week to LHR. (And it's a round trip deal, too!) Sample fares are for travel beginning December 5 through December 8, 2005 and returning December 12 through December 15, 2005. Additional taxes and fees apply.* Baltimore (BWI) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (GIG) $854 Chicago (ORD) Frankfurt, Germany (FRA) $425 Chicago (ORD) London, England (LHR) $296 Chicago (ORD) Paris, France (CDG) $429 Los Angeles (LAX) Los Cabos, Mexico (SJD) $109 Los Angeles (LAX) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (GIG) $915 Los Angeles (LAX) Sao Paulo, Brazil (GRU) $915 Phoenix (PHX) Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (PVR) $199** San Francisco (SFO) London, England (LHR) $371 San Francisco (SFO) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (GIG) $955 Washington, D.C. (IAD) Paris, France (CDG) $383 Washington, D.C. (IAD) Zurich, Switzerland (ZRH) $373 O'Hare to Heathrow round trip for $296? Wow... Thought I'd post these because they are some of the best international fare deals around, if any of you get the sudden urge to go somewhere soon.

WillMontu Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Flew Virgin back in 1999 SNES games in every seat! W00t! If I can, I'd like to fly Virgin on the UK trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tngdiablo Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 This is sweet, however, their site seems to suck. I keep getting page errors. Edit: Someone want to inform me why there are $407.84 in fees and surcharges. 2 adults USD 209.00 each Total taxes, fees, charges and surcharges. This includes the September 11th Security Fee of $2.50 per segment, and carrier imposed fuel and insurance surcharges. USD 407.84 Total USD 825.84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 What browser are you using? Also...welcome to European flights...they have major surcharges compared to America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I had heard nothing but good about Virgin, until my parents flew them over the summer in their 'premium economy' and had a really crappy set of flights. I think that they're good, but like anything, you can have a bad experience. Winter fares are awesome...stupid summer being more than double!

Jose Eber Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 Virgin is o.k. I like their style, but 'E' is right -- anyone can have a crap experience. It happens I think Skytrax though rated BA as better in their business class (technically Virgin's First is really business). I totally missed Virgin's upper class discount fares --- saw them -- but, waited till I got more cash together and they were gone Dang. Maybe BA has some good deals on First class airfare....

Louise Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 ^ BA's First Class on long-haul is amazing. I have a friend who works for BA and he managed to get me upgraded a couple of times.... Wow. Premium Economy with Virgin is pretty damn good, but I've never flown in their Upper Class section, no way I could afford that. Was trying to save up some Tribe points to figure out a way of doing it but it's not gonna happen now. Oh well, back to my Lotto hopes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
