Elevate Points to Upgrade?
Hi - A VA rookie here, so please pardon the question if it's already been covered.
I find the Elevate program a bit confusing. Can points be used to upgrade to MCS or F if a regular economy ticket is purchased? How would one do this online?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, you are not able to upgrade using elevate ponts according to their website: http://tinyurl.com/y9a5muh. 
Hopefully their policy will change some day.

Thanks for the link. I am completely new to Virgin America, so I assume that the only ways to upgrade are to buy an F fare at time of booking or buy an upgrade within 24 hours of departure, if available?
