Yes, I’ve tried numerous times to get an answer and seem to get a different answer every time. Latest is that it is just a problem with their website and that they are working on it.
Pretty poor that the Partnership launched a couple of weeks ago and they still don’t have the systems set up to utilise the full benefits of the Partnership.
Don’t know if ANA has maybe tried to block them from selling the routes given their own partnership with Virgin. If that’s the case they should just be fully transparent about this.

Finally I am having a fiddle around with this. An itinerary from Moscow to Geneva would cost only 9,000 miles and $28 taxes, which seems an amazing deal. This would be on AF with a transfer in CDG. Round trips cost 18,000, which seems great for the distance, and varies between $77 (KLM) and $91 taxes. There are definitely deals to be had here on niche routes, if you happen to need to use them. I was sure Moscow all the way to Switzerland was going to be a lot more. Wonder what other interesting routings are out there.

Head of FC told me face to face on Tuesday that getting Male added to the airport list had been sent off to the IT team, so hopefully sorted soon.
For those who care about these things, Flying Club has now been moved within Virgin Atlantic and is now part of the 'Customer Experience' team, so under Corneel's stewardship at the end of the day. It has beens shrunk down considerably because Virgin Red / Virgin Group Loyalty Company has taken on a lot of their staff and functionality.

What is the furthest you could go on the AFKL network, do you think, without passing into the higher award level? Think it would stretch to Spain or Portugal?

We are planning a spring 2021 trip into Brussels/home from Amsterdam, unfortunately I live in a city with no VS connections so have been checking gateway cities ORD, MSP, ATL and JFK. JFK is out as we would fly into LGA - best seems ORD (AA to ORD very good) when I put in 2 UC seats for February it shows 48.5k + $271 pp- the return 48.5k + $302 AF - both seem reasonable.
Is there something I’m missing, April trip so I have to wait around 6 weeks to book?
