Australia - Asia with Virgin partners

[Deleted member 29185]

Being a novice at int. could someone confirm for me that DJs only real Asian partner is MH? Is MH a partner yet as they don't appear on DJs website (except as an Interline partner) but DJ does show up on MH web site for miles earnings.

I've been noticing a lot of attractive holidays on offer in various Asian destinations, so what's the options to hopefully get miles and SCs credited back to my Velocity membership, but still allow a reasonable choice of Asian destinations??

If your taking holidays this Xmas then MAS makes sense, after that the SQ, MAS have some great J fares to Europe at present, the SC earn in place with DJ make them so tempting, it will be a pity to see them go to Oneworld in that respect, as I doubt you will ever see similar offers from SQ.

I hope MAS stays partners with VA
There are many Star Alliance, SkyTeam and Oneworld airlines, who have relationships outside of their alliance. Because MAS always has the BEST business class fare, in June this year I scored a $4,500 return airfare to London, when Qantas was selling premium economy for $5,000+ and other airlines were selling their business seats for $7,000+.

Bummer. I'm not really thinking as soon as Christmas. I'm obviously A-about, as I thought SQ were outgoing and MH incoming. Does anyone know yet what the SQ deal might entail (miles/SCs)?

I wish we could have both but nope, MH is breaking up with Virgin and Singapore is the new tie-up, because I guess it made sense since Singapore is a majority shareholder of Virgin Atlantic.

At the #QFFlunch with the AFF XVI it was reported MH confirmed [oneworld] mid 2012. (https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/#qfflunch)
