Curious for those on here that have these tickets: Did you buy chance get an exceptionally good deal on your W ticket? I did, and I'm just wondering if there were some mistake W fares recently and wondering/concerned that VS may be trying to fix that.
(yes, I'm paranoid about being forced to sit in Y for 12 hours, my TATL flights for the past few years have been in J, so trying PE is already a bit harrowing for me).

Was hoping it was because i'm open jaw, but suspect it could be a back office cock-up.
Just hope as a DM they honour the fare.....

I tried booking it as a package with a DL fare code and it all went through at the original K class price. Everything was confirmed by VS and DL, so I was happy but very strange to see a sudden jump from K to W and DL still selling K price fares.

How annoying--I had the same email for a LHR-JFK flight in just over a week. Just got off the phone with DL, who said that they're guaranteeing whatever class you booked into, that it's just a labelling problem. So that does sound like you keep PE if that's what you booked.

There should be no issue here. When you book unto VS PE it books into "PREMIUM ECONOMY (W)". It does not just say W. And when you book into C+, it says DELTA COMFORT+™ (W) (Or WU if upgraded). I suppose DL could argue that these are both W class, but even in the booking it makes a clear distinction.

So looks like it's still messed up.
Looks like it shows G now when i searched PE with Virgin Atlantic operated flight.
So I have a question. If i booked this flight via delta, on this VS operated flight, can i credit miles to SQ?
VS allow credit to SQ, but Delta doesn't.
I know i can book it on VS site, but i need it as Delta
So in my case, technically my flight is delta flight? So it will be Delta flight with W fare class?

I've been meaning to call in again and take the time to escalate this to get better information. Will try to do in the next few days and will report back, just need to set aside enough time to be put on hold for a while, etc.
