On the link to the Velocity American Express card it says you can be apply up to 15th May to receive the 100K reward points, is that how others see it?

Connecting flight at Singapore, but all included in the booking using the Miles. Great value as I still have Miles left over to build on. Singapore has a good reputation and surprisingly we have never flown with them so this will be a new experience.

Recently I accumulated over 1m Altitude points which I had been saving for the purpose of booking flights overseas. Using the flight booking link in the Westpac Altitude website I found I was eligible for return Economy only seats to coughet with Singapore. I jumped on Singapore Air website and...

My Altitude points transferred over to KrisFlyer tonight. The dates I was looking at were already taken so I moved the dates forward and was able to find return Business Saver seats in Feb & March which I booked using my KrisFlyer Miles. Had to pay an additional $342 Aus which seems to be...

Thanks for that. If I purchase Sin-coughet Economy Flex, do you know how many KrisFlyer points are required to up upgrade to Business.

November this year. Your point about Saver fares which are shown as being on wait list, which I gather means they are already taken and you are not guaranteed of getting them if you still choose to go that way is risky if accommodation is already booked.

It has me a bit confused about doing an upgrade to Premium Economy or Business Class. Using their website it appears to cost more to upgrade from Advantage to either of the above which is counter intuitive given Advantage costs more points and $ in the first place. This doesn't make sense and...

I have just over 1m Westpac Altitude points. Later this year my wife and I are flying return to coughet from Melbourne. I'm trying to figure out if there is a benefit to transfering my Altitude Points to Kris Flyer to use them for the flights. As it is I have enough to buy return economy flights...

My Westpac Altitude Points has 900K+ points. AP give you the option of booking a flight direct or transferring the points to one of the options listed in the heading. Will transferring the points to one of the option give me better value? I would be most likely travel to the UK or Europe, or I...

Did you have to chase them for it?

H Oz Mark, interested to know if you actually received a credit? I requested one on 25th March and haven't received it. When I spoke to VA on Friday to re-book my flight from May to November they initially said credit requests made in March were processed, then they did a U turn when I asked...

Many thanks for those options. Could deals for Asia become cheaper as they look to attract business back their way? Don't mind the idea of Istanbul, Casablanca or Marrakech as well. I will investigate what is out there using those tips.

From Melbourne. Yep looks like I'm going to have to accumulate some more cards and points, or just go with one ticket.

I have about 545K Altitude Points and wondering if that will buy me 2 x business class seats to Europe with any of Westpac's partner airlines, particularly interested in Singapore through Kris Flyer.

Just catching up on this. Looking at the BP website it appears their new reward scheme with Qantas is only for business operators, is that right?

I've done a search and don't believe Qatar have a lounge for business class flyers in Melbourne, do they have reciprocal rights with Qantas and I can get access to theirs? Flying out Saturday week. Thanks

Hi David, My wife found out the other day she doesn't have enough hours to book her holiday at the moment so I haven't progressed any further. Will probably start the process of looking for flights again around January. The Asia Miles site is not easy to follow, but the other day I went into...

You've done more than enough thanks again David for your help. It did cross my mind that I was in the award/upgrade field, but at a quick glance I couldn't see the flight booking field, tonight I'll look more thoroughly. Colin

Hi David, I've joined up with Asia Miles, no big deal. But their web site is not so intuitive and uses unfamiliar terminology. This following point I'm not clear on, I think, on looking at redeeming the miles function it seems I have to already have a valid ticket as it asks for the booking...

That's my fault for not paying enough attention, I'm finding it hard to keep track of these different booking systems. I opened a Krisflyer account the other day but I couldn't find much there that suited me. Tomorrow I'll have a go at what you suggested with Asia Miles. Thanks
