Premium Economy K Class

I have booked one of these PE K class discounted tickets to Miami in March for £570 which accrues miles.

Will I receive the standard Economy 100% milage or the usual 150% PE milage ?

This is Virgin not BA!
You will get full mileage and tier points on all fares except reward flights and economy flights booked in N Class

Thanks,
Richard

Yes I know this is Virgin not BA.

This was booked via the Internet and the itinerary email that came back straight away stated that 8860 miles would be earnt for the flight.

Hi VRN,

That 8860 miles quoted looks like the 100% mileage LON-MIA.(rtn) ( snafu by VS-I got a similar message last time I booked on line but the full PE mileage posted with no problems) so it will be 150% * 8860 = 13020 as per this calculation;

www.cheapestflights.co.uk allows you to book Premium Economy tickets (and not just on Virgin).

It will also show you the class of ticket that you've chosen (e.g. K-class). It's the only way I found of verifying that I'm buying a PE ticket online without using VS' website.

Watch out for the 2% handling charges though!
