How do you go about finding how many points these routes are? (apologies if this is mentioned earlier in the thread, I went through a lot of pages and couldn't see it mentioned)
I am looking for Shanghai - Guangzhou (one way), I can see availability on the United Airlines site with Air China so I think there is availability. It says 15k miles and Ł5.80 taxes. Would it be the same amount of miles with Virgin?

Mind you, CA F between LHR-PEK is widely known as one of the best (if not the best) value awards you can get on VS.

Air China redemptions are currently unavailable? I called in and was told that due to them unilaterally cancelling people's tickets, and the resultant annoyed Flying Club members, Virgin had been re-assessing the relationship. I was told this had been going on since January 17th and that there was no firm date for the Air China redemptions to return

I can understand why Virgin would want to reassess the relationship with Air China given the latter doesn't seem to understand the meaning of a legal binding contract.

Another question about Singapore airlines
Has anyone recently managed to book a ticket on Singapore airlines using Virgin Atlantic Airmiles?

Check the thread. A long haul in Business or First isn't happening - VS even makes it clear that most of the long haul fleet is excluded.
But if you're looking for an intra-Asia in Y then your chances are much better.

Tried to book a Delta award with my VS miles ... was told there was no availability for a SFO-SEA flight, even though the lowest level awards were showing on Delta's website...

Searching on Air France for Delta flights gives a better representation of what Delta makes available to partners.
