Hi all,

A while ago I tried booking a 1st Class flight to London using Delta miles. Delta, NW, Continental all had nothing available. After the 3rd or 4th time trying, the agent on the phone asked me if I wanted to try Virgin and got an upper class ticket for 100K miles to London from Las Vegas on the dates I requested. Sweet!

I did not know that Virgin was partnered with Delta, but hey you learn something new every day. I don't know if it is a SkyTeam partner or not, on SkyTeam's website Virgin is not listed.

So anyway, if you are looking to fly to England and hold Delta miles, look into it.
