Don't forget about the SGD40 voucher when transiting SIN on SQ: Changi Transit Programme - Singapore Airlines Ends soon but they've extended it before...

RTW and Circle Pacific fares existed at one point, maybe they still do? https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Specials/RoundtheWorldandCirclePacificFaresTermsandConditions/index.htm Some earlier discussion, though the fares no longer appear on the Special Offers page linked therein...

You should get the same allowance as a Delta Gold Medallion member according to this page: Gold Membership | Velocity Frequent Flyer Which means you should get two free bags in economy on flights within the US: Checked Baggage | Delta Air Lines

Also, from the Velocity announcement email, "As a Gold member you will also enjoy an enhanced travel experience, with your Velocity membership level now printed on your Singapore Airlines and SilkAir boarding pass."

I have a DL-ticketed itinerary coming up that includes codeshares on VA's BNE-LAX and LAX-BNE. Although the Virgin system doesn't retrieve my itinerary properly (including a flight to "not available" heh), it apparently does offer UpgradeMe bidding on the BNE legs, which it identifies as VA7 and...

Yeah I got the same email, unsolicited. Not really something I want to use, and imho looks less nice than the original card. My email had an image of the new card, the magnetic-stripe side looks fairly similar to the front of the original card (but with added magnetic stripe across the bottom).

Seems twas just a blip, back to normal on the weekend.

Does mobile check-in no longer have the option to find your booking by Velocity number? I have to go via manage bookings?! Mobile check-in's integration with the Velocity system was better than the main website, which could never find my booking, yet apparently now it has somehow fallen behind...

re: Happy Hour returns Not relevant to happy hour sales, but the map here comparing standard time to solar time is interesting: How much is time wrong around the world? | The poor man's math blog And obviously the solution is to move the arbitrary discontinuity in the timezone from the Tweed...

Scissors in luggage, apparently: Brisbane airport delays caused by pair of scissors

Ah very nice to be able to earn SCs on the cheapest fares.

Mine came from [email protected]

My email offers double status credits, same dates as above.

I like this placeholder article at SMH: QANTAS HOLDER
