When attempting to book a connecting flight using virgin points for instance Tel Aviv to Johannesburg. It’ll offer me VS TLV-LHR and connecting LHR-JNB all on points but if I try to book the TLV-LHR separately, it shows no availability. How does that make sense?
I’ve seen the same on other routes too.
It’s called “married segments” – this is a good explanation – https://liveandletsfly.com/married-segments-award-tickets/
calling in you might get lucky and get someone to book it for you
really interesting. many thanks for sharing
Horrible availability between LON-JNB anyways. I was planning to book a one-way flight but only managed to find one seat in Y for 25k.
Out of curiosity, I checked other routes to Pakistan and India and it looks pretty dry too.
Looks like a lot of sausage rolls from Greggs instead.
