Any workarounds?? Thanks
What are the routes and are these flights award tickets (paid with Virgin Atlantic miles/points) or regular tickets paid with money but on VS ticket stock with VS flight numbers? Unless you have an award ticket, I suspect that at least one segment is TATL, which would at best be eligible for an "upgrade" to C+ at T-24. If it's an award ticket, I don't think you can get any upgrade.
