Followed up with Velocity.

Mine took a good 8 weeks, but finally happened after I followed up a couple of times.

Paid for 2 of them and then Latitude blocked my 28 degrees card! Argh. Paid for the next 2 using Citibank Debit Card as couldn't contact 28 Degrees even though supposedly have 24 hour line for declined transactions and fraud.

Could not get it to accept my hotmail address. Had to use my work address.

This form is so frustrating. I finally got it to accept the hotel. When I click 'save' it all is fine. I then get a pop up that says 'invalid email', using my Hotmail address, and it goes back to a blank form again. Anyone had success with a Hotmail email address?

They seem to spread themselves so thin. Trying to cover so many routes with such a small fleet. Think they need to be building confidence in their consistency first.

The stupidity of the app only booking surely needs to change. Was reading some comments that if you are OS (even NZ!) that you can’t even download the app as ‘not available in your country’. Any first hand info on this? They must be doing themselves out of so many bookings. I would look at them...

Ah great. That's a long layover! It must be availability on the SFO-YVR route (even when searching 1 seat) just isn't that plentiful. Seems to be plenty of availability on the SYD-SFO flight. Yes travelling in peak school holidays, hence the planning ahead so I am ready to pull the trigger...

Hi brainstrust, I am in the very early planning stages of hopefully a month skiing with the family in Canada in January 2025. Yes it's looking a long way ahead! But I need to have everything lined up to make it happen. There generally appears to be plenty of availability for 4 x economy reward...

The lack of blankets and pillows is seriously cheap and cough for a red eye. I don’t want to lug this stuff around with me on a trip. It would be what $50 a person of laundering costs!? They seriously need preorder meals for Y as well.

Success today. 5yo daughter booked on ZL368 SYD-BNE as an UM. Original flight was $91.92. Bid $40. Success email 3 hours before flight. So pretty special for her with some extra attention on first UM flight!

I am used to sticky beaks on building sites, but yours seems to be next level already and you aren't even out of the ground! Glad you are next door and have the security camera.

Yep, I could never have a house I owned built on a waffle slab. Very bad on reactive soils like clay. Can Google the issues from them, all good when it is stable and say in drought for 10 years, then it rains and with clay it causes slab heave, big cracking and movement that shouldn’t happen...

Yep…but not really relevant to the conversation as mingzie isn’t booking a business redemption on those because not available!

I get your points. Just a note, there is only 8 J seats on VA’s aircraft. 4 x 2.

Crazy hey, I just looked again as had completely forgotten, $194 per person for a return business class trip to Europe! Gee that was nice!

Link here to when I did that trip: Experience Booking Europe Trip with Velocity Points Was obviously a while ago now (she turns 5 on Sunday!) so would have to check if any changes in process.

Not sure this is the right advice. Should be no need to wait if it is an infant ticket (I.e. not occupying a seat). We did a Europe J trip on SQ award seats booked through Velocity points with our 4 month old. Booked all flights for my wife and I probably 8 months out. Called up and added infant...

Flight this morning was full 8/8 business. Maybe 70% econ. Evening flight I reckon econ was only 40%. Majority of us had a row of 3 to ourselves. I really enjoy the service and staff on Rex. All flights have been seriously great.

Success today on MEL-SYD 7:10am flight. Bid $45 on Monday. Got email at 4am this morning confirming success, reissued boarding pass 1A. Original fare $89. So great deal! Put in the same for return flight tonight, but got the outbid email.
