End of VS/OnePass Partnership 2/13/12 -- Post-Agreement Change/Reticketing Issues
See here:
I'm just glad I was able to snag some JFK-LHR C awards while I could. Per this thread, practically all US-UK inventory is already gone, but there are some ex-LHR awards to points east and south that are still possible. Grab em before they're gone!
Effective February 13, 2012 we will discontinue our OnePass partnership with Virgin Atlantic. Mileage accrual benefits are valid for travel through February 13, 2012. Please refer to the Mileage Credit Request Form for information regarding obtaining missing mileage credit. OnePass reward reservations for travel on Virgin Atlantic must be confirmed and ticketed by February 13, 2012, and they are valid one year from the date ticketed.

Over the years I've enjoyed a few UC SFO-LHR on VS. too bad.
The writings' been on the wall for a while now tho. Certainly the biggest casualty is no longer being able to use the fantastic LHR Clubhouse. My wife always enjoyed that aspect. Actually, I've never even been in a UA or CO lounge at LHR!
Wouldn't even know where to find it. I guess I'll find out next month on an LHR stopover.

That stinks.
Anybody have any ideas on what might happen to award flights booked lets say next December in regards to changing or redepositing. Imagine it will be no different except that VS flights won't be an option anymore.
I guess this why I can't find any awards on any VS ex the states.

Right, but the language above says tickets "are valid one year from the date ticketed." Wouldn't that mean changes are possible so long as they aren't more than a year after the ticketing date?

I did change up a domestic leg already and they didn't mention having to reissue the whole ticket. I guess I better be certain before any future change is made. Too bad I can't just call co and ask as I am sure I would get a number of different answers.

True, but it stands to reason the party will indeed be over.
PMCO and VS had mostly complementary route structures. Only ex-EWR did they compete head-to-head on flights to LHR. PMUA, however, competes with VS ex-ORD, LAX, SFO, and IAD. In other words, every hub except DEN.
I just don't see UACO sharing the wealth on UK flights...
