    Unable to book SYD-HNL with Hawaiian

    I know that. I am trying to adapt by getting used to booking partner flights with a VA number.

    Unable to book SYD-HNL with Hawaiian

    1. I asked for both, the rep said neither was available through them and I could only book directly with Hawaiian. So, I was told you cannot book OR redeem Hawaiian flights through VA/VFF. It's for July 2025 anyway. 2. I know, I regularly fly SQ/UA and collect VFF SCs, I am trying to adapt to...

    Unable to book SYD-HNL with Hawaiian

    I just rang and they said no, as per my post. 1733211486 Yes I’ve flown Hawaiian with VFF number and received SCs but the new rules want us on VA flight numbers which may not exist with this “partner.” I did call up and they said they don’t do it anymore.

    Unable to book SYD-HNL with Hawaiian

    I want to fly SYD - HNL. This is a Hawaiian Airlines route. I can book online through the VA website but it routes me through SFA or LAX with UA. I want to fly directly and save about 10 hrs in the plane. The VA website says to book or redeem flights on Hawaiian, to call the VFF contact...

    Dumb pooling/sector question

    Thanks I thought so but when I overthink I doubt myself. Will leave thread up for others.

    Dumb pooling/sector question

    Just confirming that if I pool points and SCs to a family member, I still get the sector from a flight, right?

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    How do i see these magical SQ flights on the VA site? I keep getting served QR flights which my wife refuses to fly, I'd love to buy SQ codeshares with a VA flight number but can't work out how to do it. Or is it like Hawaiian, have to do it over the phone, can't do it online?

    My experience is the exact opposite. Brekky especially.

    VA lounges are IMHO far better than Qantas Club for domestic.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    So my SQ trip last week has given me the SCs for moving from gold to plat, with a VA work trip in 4 weeks giving me the final eligible sector needed. So upgrading to Plat in Nov seems to be the best possible outcome for having status for the next 2 yrs regardless of these changes, as I'll get a...

    That might be for APS, in NSW it's not the case, except when I fly every 2-3 weeks on NSW regional flights, I have to fly QF since VA's regional routes were all closed. Even then we often get put on Rex.

    That's the thing. I recently managed to book Sydney to New York on a VA flight number with United, but find it's often impossible to Europe - 90% of the time the VA engine only shows me Qatar flights (we will not fly Qatar) and I have found it extremely hard to get onto a VA codeshare flight...

    SIA/VA Points and Status Credits

    Just I’m posting this from SQ222 with VFF on my boarding pass and this tip worked perfectly!

    SIA/VA Points and Status Credits

    I'd stick with VFF number on the booking to gurantee points and SCs and pay the $20 for whole-flight wifi, seems like an insignificant cost for the certainty.

    Rex Administration - implications for Virgin Australia

    I have a few regional NSW trips to do in Sept-Oct so I'm hoping some sort of alliance is formed, sick of flying Rex and Qantas when I could be getting sweet VFF benefits.

    Mixing fare class on one booking

    Is there a way to book online where I can, for example, book 4 people onto a flight, with 2 x choice and 2 x lite fares? Or do they all have to be the same fare class, or I'd have to book 2 separate bookings of 2 ppl each on the same class?

    Wife's Velocity name on ticket as 'Mr' instead of Mrs - changing with QR

    Flying through Qatar, you might prefer to be thought of as a man considering how they've treated women in the past!!
