Last Dec-Jan, I flew CO Z class IAD-LHR-IAD on VS. Got lounges on both ends, UC J class tickets, no limo, & CO miles for $12-1500.(forgot which, as we took 3 such trips in Dec-Feb). I could not get those prices on the CO site, but could from ITN.net.
I think the deal has changed, as the VS-CO codeshare agreement is radically changed, according to the CO forum. No more hard shared seats.

If I remember correctly, the exact price with taxes was $1,338.38 with a base fare of $1,216.00.
From what I understand, the new codeshare arrangement opens up seats but also means that only Standard rewards are redeemable on Virgin-Atlantic with Continental OnePass miles.
