First time booking an AF flight on Virgin Atlantic
New Member! Thanks in advance for everyone's help. I just booked R/T AF flight on Virgin Atlantic's(VA) site using points and money. After booking, under "Manage Booking" I get the "Choose Seats" icon and it takes me to the actual seat map of AF's 777-300ER (I am still on the VA portal). After clicking on my chosen seat and having it highlighted, the "Confirm" button does not respond! I have tried 3 different browsers and I get the same result. My question is: Rather than having to contact AF (be on hold foe a long time), can VA provide me with a" Cross referenced" booking number for AF so I can log in AF site and chose and pay for my seats? THANK you again

THANKS! Yes I did try the VA booking number on AF’s site and did not go through. Also, the search window on AF’s site only allows for 6 characters, so I don’t think the ticket number will work but I will certainly try it. THANKS AGAIN.

The check in page https://wwws.airfrance.us/check-in allows input of either ticket number or booking reference, so it might work in terms of at least pulling up your reservation.

Thanks S80. This is the error message I got when I entered the ticket # in that window from the link you provided: “A booking reference consists of between 5 and 6 characters.”
The “check in” only works 30 hours before the flight.
