What is the best way of spending 190k VS miles? Flights outright, upgrade from Y to J, or transfer out of VS to something else (Hilton?). We are trying to get back to the UK next June from MEL-LHR return, however VS don't seem to allow J class on all flights, plus taxes/charges are exorbitant. Any ideas on how to maximise their value?
I woud say the best way to spend 190,000 VS miles would be to buy me a ticket! But you might not like that, so second best way to spend 190,000 VS miles would be as Daniel says, go premium economy. The only thing is that VS premium ecnomy is pretty average, nothing likme QF or CX. But anything has to be better than economy, right?

If you don't like paying taxes, just buy a premium economy fare and just upgrade to J.
