    Velocity status on Singapore Airlines

    Piggybacking off this thread, I have 2 SQ J MEL-SIN-FCO (SQ228&366) booked as velocity award. Flying J for the first time! 1. Any tips in selecting seats on Mel-Sin 777 and overnight Sin-Fco A350 long haul? 2. Do I need to update FF as SQ to get free wifi? 3. Any other tips with respect to...

    Seat Selection Denied - VA Codeshare Flight with Singapore Airlines

    Just booked 2 J Mel-Sin-FCO reward seats so chuffed. But I cannot select seats through VA. Will try SQ now but had a couple of questions: 1. Once I’ve selected a seat, can I change it later say if a bulkhead seat opens up. 2. Can I cancel seats if the dates don’t suit anymore (hypothetical) once...

    Seats.aero - a useful tool for finding Qantas & Velocity reward availability

    @Pro users, has anyone booked Europe J award (2pax) from CDG/FCO/ATH to Australia? Do you’ll search each segment (Europe to Asia then Asia to Oceania) or you can find it direct Europe to Oceania. If it’s possible, I might subscribe to Pro then for Sept/Oct bookings next year.

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Talking about Syd lounges - the QF International J lounge was my first lounge experience. I'm aware it's not considered good for many, but I really enjoyed having drinks and finger food here. Didn't use shower but that's a welcome option. Hope to one day try out the F lounge :)

    Velocity points now worthless in 2023 (extreme stealth devaluation)

    Hi Scr77, thanks for the response. Won't that cost more though? Like 139k if booked together instead of 65k + 104k (169k) per person? I might be cutting close and don't have lot of spare points by October (when I have to book for September). 2 pax - 278k

    Velocity points now worthless in 2023 (extreme stealth devaluation)

    Lot of commenters above stating booking QR J few weeks out. But what if we want to book 330 days in advance? I’m struggling to find any QR or SQ J availability next year in my “mock runs” (Mar-Jun l, MEL or SYD to either of FCO ATH CDG LHR). Plan to book for Sep 2024 and not interested in EY J atm.

    Aeroplan (Air Canada) is now selling points

    Hi all, I'm checking if it is viable to buy Aeroplan points for redeeming trips to India? I'm planning HBA-BOM Dec 23 - Jan 24 in J (for 2 pax) - preferrably not in Air India. I'm aware it may be difficult due to busy time of the year but seeing if anyone has done it previously.

    All good guys. That's a bummer. I had a QF Reward flight SC tracked last month so thought maybe even VA do so.

    Didn't earn points and SC on VA Reward flights

    Hi there, The November Coles Status Credits post has inspired me to write this one. So I flew Hba to Syd 22-Nov and Syd to Mel 24-Nov - didn't earn points and SC on VA Economy Reward flights. I'm assuming VA Reward flights don't earn these? Anyone else facing this same issue? I have VA Business...

    VA1533 VA842 exit advice

    I don't remember whether I could exit flight from behind last time so here we go. Does Virgin have only one exit from the front or you can exit from behind too? I'm asking so that I can either book seats 28-30 or try further up to avoid long wait. Context - Short domestic flights. Hba to Syd...
