Our once wishful thinking prediction came true, wouldn’t you know it?

If you’ve been following me for very long, you know how much I love FCF’s Delta-Virgin hack. It’s where you can get Business Class flights to Europe for just 95,000 miles through Delta’s partner Virgin Atlantic (an Amex points partner) on Delta flights, when Delta charges 206,000 to 630,000 miles for the same one.

That’s up to 85% off.

Or two to six tickets for the price of one.

And on top of that, there’s better availability at the lower price than with Delta. Crazy, right? Anything deal-worthy when it comes to Delta is good news, because it’s so rare. Leave it to FCF to excavate one-of-a-kind treasures like this for you.

We get excited about this strategy soap opera every time there’s a twist, turn, or new insight — as you can see by how much we’ve written about it: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Hear, hear!

Return of the Jedi

This quick good news report is a 180-degree turn from the bad news we got back in January about Virgin Atlantic’s new reward flight chart with skyrocketing pricing (which changed a week later). But availability on Virgin virtually dried up, effectively killing our favorite FCF Delta (ethical) hack.

At the time, we predicted availability would come back, which went against mainstream thought. (A big part of FCF’s Upgrade Mindset is to keep an open, hopeful outlook for the future.)

Happily, Virgin availability is indeed starting to return and it’s crazy good for travelers willing to be flexible. Stay tuned for more FCF alerts to come, this is the ultimate hack for saving you a stack. Here are the latest examples.
