There was a VS7/23 consolidation recently that I know of and it remained an A350. It may change, if there is more seats sold in the premium cabins than the 789 allows, the it'll likely go to the 350.

I haven't seen any further updates, I suspect that once things settle a little more - if it is going to happen, we will be made aware. I hope it does!

Economy

The A330’s have the benefit of having a 2x4x2 layout in Economy, which means if you can bag an A/C or H/K seat then you either get window or aisle, no middle seat which is good. The layout...

I see your point Raffles, but frankly that is their problem.

Surely they worked all this out prior to offering the card... oh wait, they're a bank, so probably not :D

If this is indeed the case, that sucks. I want miles for every pound spent. The fact i've paid the bill early to free up more spend is irrelevant.

That's good to know. I suspected that would be the case because you can even upgrade non-upgradable buckets and travel agent tickets on the day too.

If it's a Delta PNR then they are the ticketing carrier, and VS is the operating carrier. The changes would need to be done with DL inline with their rules.

DL won't touch it if it was ticketed by VS. You'd have to get the ticket released from VS so DL can make changes. I'm not even sure that they'd do that if it's a VS reward booking. They do with...
