Hey I am looking for a flight from London to Delhi (upper class but business will suffice preferred) going out on 2nd or 3rd and coming back on 6th February. Best I found on ANA was Austrian or Lufthansa but this involves a change and there is no First (Upper) Class available.
- For Virgin it says RQ. Any idea what this means?
- Is there any way of finding out how much the taxes on a reward flight will be? Virgin are doing a pretty good deal if you purchase the flight directly.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Sign up for a Flying Club account on virginatlantic.co.uk and you can use this account to check reward availability for VS flights. IME it's then more than likely that DC will have the same availability. YMMV

I have been checking prices for LHR-MUN and although LH quote from £49 each way, no fares come in at under £98 e/w, so I used ANA to search for reward seats, of which there are plenty. Is it worth using DC miles for zone 1 flights or is it a waste?

Only you can decide if it is worth it or not, but of that £98 about two thirds of the price is is taxes and fees so your miles are only going to buy you about £33 discount.
