I seem to remember though that on Virgin’s bookings there were a couple of flight references, one of which is the BA one so you might not need to phone. We are getting 2,500 Avios and 80 TPs each.
In BA’s MMB it says that the Virgin seats will be available at check-in but we chose our seats via Virgin’s website.
Interestingly, our Virgin flights are showing as “First”. It will be good to be able to compare their offering to BA’s.
We paid £1.3k for DUB - LHR - SFO - LHR - LCY - DUB in BA CE and VS Upper Class, which ain't a bad price.
I've flown UC before and to be honest, aside from the in-flight bar, I prefer BA CW (and it's nowhere near BA F). However, the LHR Clubhouse is way better than anything BA has, including the CCR. Suggest you spend a good few hours there if you can. You won't regret it!
