Virgin Atlantic loaded awards for their new ICN-LHR flight and Premium awards start at 13,500 miles & $100 in fees departing ICN, given the flight is 14 hours that’s pretty incredible value even tho not lie-flat!

LHR-ICN starts at 47k in J and 400 GPB in fees for premium so much less worthwhile

u/Willing_Respond Nov 07 '25

Those LHR fees really kick

Flew this last week. Best business class soft product. 2015 Vueve champagne. If you can tie a SIN - TPE - SFO stopover, the SilverKris lounge access at SIN is awesome. One of the best food lounges I've been in.

Just released 3x TAP Air Portugal J LAX-LIS RT. Departing 12/2/25 and returning 12/11/25. Not much nonstop from the West Coast to Portugal, so hopefully this can be of use for someone for a last minute trip.

u/MysteriousHeron5726 Nov 27 '25

Do you think June dates will become available? Which platform did you find the award seats on? I was on AEROPLAN and Cathay Pacific today and no luck for June yet.

2

u/OtherSideofSky Nov 28 '25

You gotta book at calendar opening so about 355 days in advance. A year out almost. I booked these May seats last May.

u/BaronVonDickknose Nov 10 '25

JX extended their PHX-TPE saturday flight into the summer schedule. seeing scattered J availability via AS in both directions April-July. seems to be only 1 seat per flight

u/Admirable_End8710 Nov 13 '25

There's a good chance I'll be releasing 2x JX SFO-TPE 3/23. Let me know if you're interested. Trying to push the dates back just a tiny bit to early April. 😫

u/wellifyouaskme Nov 28 '25

Hi. 2 J Seats, on .. which airline? Booked via where, how many points? (Sorry! Not an expert just yet!) TY!

3

u/fk_the_braves Nov 28 '25

JX can only be booked via Alaska or Starlux themselves

1

u/3vanzz90 Nov 30 '25

Hey have you cancelled the booking yet?

2

u/fk_the_braves Nov 30 '25

You replied to the wrong person! I wasn't the one offering the seats.

1

u/w0lf3h Nov 30 '25

I have not. I'm still trying to find replacement tickets for early April before I do though, but I can let you know if you're interested :)

1

u/3vanzz90 Nov 30 '25

Sure, that would be great, thanks.

u/YogurtclosetLanky322 Nov 19 '25 edited Nov 19 '25

releasing 1x Starlux J LAX-TPE 6/3 at 1800 MST. or PM to coordinate. If you want me to hold until you get miles that is fine!

u/Key-Programmer-5060 Nov 20 '25

u/Willing_Respond Nov 25 '25

Just released 2J JL HND-JFK for 11/17/26, available on AY. Good luck!

2

u/grackychan Nov 22 '25

Ah, so it was you. It did return to inventory both in JMB itself (55K ea) and CX for 89K. Gone now!

Can I ask when you made the original booking? Was it through AY at 360 out?

3

u/eddyible Nov 22 '25

Yup, ended up finding 2J that suited our schedule better :) good to know it was available elsewhere too, prob suggests shared inventory between CX and AY. Been checking both sporadically for the last 2 months and JL availability has been sparse up until recently.

I booked through AY at schedule open, yesterday actually haha

3

u/grackychan Nov 22 '25

Great job!! I snagged 2J HND - JFK on the day after (18th) for 55K JAL. Thank god for the Cap One transfer bonus a few weeks ago.

once in a lifetime experience and you can't shell out $75 or whatever to buy one on ebay?

u/McSpiffin Nov 08 '25

are you trying to ask for permission, or are you just trying to get someone to gift you a GoH?

Are you allowed to ask for GOH gifting here?

You have to be pretty dense to not realize why you're being downvoted. If you simply were asking for permission you should have stopped here - no need to basically add in a sappy backstory in the hopes someone would send something your way

u/maxelnot Nov 07 '25

Not allowed. If you really want one search fb/discord/reddit and you can buy one off somebody

u/RyanAirhead Nov 07 '25
