How to Book Virgin Atlantic Partner Awards for KLM Flights – Error Online? Call VA to Book

Good afternoon everyone. 2 weeks ago, my wife and I decided to book a last minute trip to Europe this summer with stops in Prague (PRG), Copenhagen (CPH), and Amsterdam (AMS).  This morning, I wrote Some KLM Business Class Awards (Booked with Virgin Atlantic) are Cheaper than Economy Awards for Flights Within Europe. After you find the perfect KLM business class award that is bookable with Virgin Atlantic Miles, you might run into issues purchasing the award ticket online.  In this post, I will show you how to book the Virgin Atlantic award tickets over the phone and select your seats on the KLM website.

For our 11:30am KLM flight from Copenhagen to Amsterdam (CPH-AMS), Virgin Atlantic had a total cost of 18,000 Virgin Atlantic Miles + $47.80.  I signed into my Virgin Atlantic account, went through the booking process, entered my credit card info, pressed submit, and got this error message: “Sorry, things change so quickly around here and that fare isn’t available anymore.  Please search again to see what’s available. #100503.”  I tried a few different times from different browsers and on my phone, but always got the same error message.  I decided to call Virgin Atlantic for help.

Some KLM Business Class Awards (Booked with Virgin Atlantic) are Cheaper than Economy Awards for Flights Within Europe

Good afternoon everyone. 2 weeks ago, my wife and I decided to book a last minute trip to Europe this summer with stops in Prague (PRG), Copenhagen (CPH), and Amsterdam (AMS). When I searched for flights from Copenhagen to Amsterdam (CPH-AMS), I found 2 morning flights on KLM that would work perfectly for our schedule. Unfortunately, the prices ($243-$285) were a little higher than we wanted to pay for the 1.5 hour flight. I used Point.me to search for these flights to see if they were bookable with miles. Strangely, the award prices were lower in business class than in economy. Let me show you what I found and how I booked the award ticket.
