! Flight CO8229 does not offer BusinessFirst or First Class between seats between London, England (LHR - Heathrow) to New York, NY (JFK).
Flight CO8229 in the London, England (LHR - Heathrow) to New York, NY (JFK) market is in economy class.
Continental flight 8229 operated by Virgin Atlantic Airways.
Either an all CO BF or an all VS upperclass RT for my date can be had for approx. $2500 but for mixed CO and VS flights (even code shares) the price soars or I get the message above. Is there a way to book a CO/BF + VS/UC RT without thousands in additional cost?
CO.com displays the following for my upcoming Flight :
CO8245
Fare Class: Economy (R)
For some reason it displays economy when in fact it is a Z class ticket on VS UC - (I got the VS CFM code and went on VS.com to confirm this and
to select seats.)
You should be able to book it over the phone if there is R inventory available.
