You should be able to get around 5 cents per point for a business class or first class award seat transatlantic or transpacific on many of the airline partners.

Are the Virgin upgrades capacity controlled? Is Virgin Prem Econ equivlent of BA World Traveler + where you pay between $300 to $700 more each way for a little more leg room than standard econ?
