Codeshare with VS
When flying with Continental on a Virgin Atlantic aircraft how easy is it to be comped up from coach to Upper Class? I live in the UK and it may be better for me to buy a CO ticket rather than a VS as I understand that CO have 10 upper class seats on each flight.

It seems the only way possible is through an operational upgrade. I guess as Gold and Platinum Elites we are just not considered Upper Class. 
And those on the Freeway (Miles that is) would run us over if they did start bumping a full coach cabin to Business! Does our CO Elite status reflect in Virgin's passenger records?
Any way to redeem CO miles solely for a Virgin business class ticket??

It'll cost you either 100K or 200K miles, depending on availability. 'Tain't cheap, and you don't earn miles that way.
