We recently saw Virgin Atlantic overhaul its Flying Club program, by introducing dynamic award pricing. In light of that, I wanted to take an updated look at the program’s useful feature that lets you find the lowest priced awards with ease.

Unfortunately the work around to change the airport codes in the URL to search delta availability seems to have stopped working (at least as of a few weeks ago). Not that it matters much though… given how restricted delta partner award have been for a few years.
This is a great update though!
This would be great if it actually worked. Reward Seat Checker says there lowest price for Upper Class JFK-LHR on Oct 4 is 41K, but when you actually search, the lowest price is actually 60K. Checked to be sure the one low-priced seat hadn't been taken in the time between searches, but Reward Seat Checker still showing 41K. Useless.
Great tool but many days have incorrect pricing. LHR to JFK shows many days with 29k in J. I could not reproduce when trying to book??
The problem with the tool is it seems to have some caching implemented therefore what you see is generally not what is available!
If it worked it would be good but it also doesn't give you any indication of amount of seats available at certain levels...
Yes this was a nice feature but as you said, no longer works. Only AF/flying blue reward search for DL space?
Same with May 2 May 7 RT IAD LHR Only difference between 29,000 on award finder is much greater actual price 180,000 for crapy seats no thanks
I'm finding SeatSpy better - you can throttle up/down the # of points, # of seats, and get 11 months results in a single page.
I have recently been using point voyager for finding deals with reward flights, it has the history available making it easy to see if the points are increasing or dropping. I've not come across any other site with the level of data available
