I didn't know about the free stopover. I think I understand what you're saying. I do now see that some of the flights listed on the Continental reward search are actually VS flights but I don't see one on the 29th. Is there a way to search the VS site or should I call Continental or Virgin? I've never flown VS. I usually fly Continental because they have a hub here in Cleveland and the most flights. How do they compare to Continental for international flights (we'll be flying coach)? I still think it's odd that Continental has so many standard reward seats available for CLE to London, the reward charts for June and July are almost all yellow, but very few over the same months for return...
