Searching for Virgin Australia seats on Delta site using miles
I have not searched on Delta for a long time. The last time I flew Virgin Australia (business class using miles) I had to call customer service and they found available mileage seats for me. I just did a few trial searches and Virgin Australia flights never showed up -- only Delta and Korean Air. Can anyone tell me if Virgin Australia business class seats are still available using Delta miles. They used to be "easy" to get.

Several months ago VA J availability went from "easy to find" to "hardly ever shows up". This comes up from time to time in various threads.

Thanks for both responses. I guess I did not plug in the right dates. My window does not open up until a month from now -- really hoping to fly Virgin Australia again -- one of the best Business Class products I have experienced. It used to be "easy" -- the good stuff never lasts.

You can also try the Virgin Australia Website.
I have always been able to book flights with Delta miles that are shown as 'Economy Reward' or 'Business Reward' (the two leftmost columns), even if I can't see these on Delta.com. The agents can't always see the flights when they search by date, but if I give them the VA flight number they find it.

I will try that.
