That should show what flights operate on that date and if there is reward availability in your chosen class for the date you want. Ignore the number of points quoted, as they are not the same as VS FC Miles. The FC Miles required are shown at: http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/us...bfSubmit1.x=21. Pick a flight and call Virgin Atlantic Flying Club who should be able to confirm you on the flight.
I gave the VS agents a call to ask about booking awards on VX, and they said that I needed to find T inventory (I'm interested in Y awards). Since VX has a revenue-based redemption program, I suppose that I'll just need to call in every time like you said. Thanks for your help!
