I've spent over an hour on the phone with the Diamond Medallion line and we can't find a single flight with upgrade availability on Virgin Atlantic nor can the agent or supervisor provide any details on what flights or routes would even be eligible for upgrades. When we couldn't find upgrades on the specific SFO>LHR route I wanted, I literally said I am willing to book any flight where there might be upgrade availability and they still couldn't find a single flight in 2017 with availability. It's tough for me to see the value in this if there is no actual opportunity to use the GUC's on this route.

SkyMilesTeam is there a specific set of routes that are eligible? Is there a process to get these upgrades?
