Welcome reduction in those nasty redemption fees
From VS website's reward flight sale page:
"Hold that thought! You may have noticed that we've lowered the amount of Fuel Surcharge on these long haul Economy flights. This change won't just apply to this offer period, so keep up to date via our Reward Flights pages as more information follows."
The reward sale is a 25% discount on miles needed. Based on what I paid on my only ever VS redemption the taxes/fees element seems to have a similar level of discount. This is really welcome news and makes this offer well worth looking at if you have miles (which I don't).
I know people on this forum generally prefer premium cabin redemptions (don't we all?!), but offers like this make economy redemptions better value.
Does anyone recall VS doing any premium ec or upper class reward seat sales like this? I can only remember seeing economy. I plan to start saving for a uc redemption once I've gotten enough VS miles to transfer to reach my Hilton redemption goal for this year.
