    Virgin Combi fares

    Hi - I was looking on the VA website at the various rewards and noticed a 'Combi fare'. You can use miles for a reward fare one way and pay for the other leg. I know usually a oneway fare is more expensive, but wondered if this was the case for the Combi fare. Has anyone booked or enquired...
