Claiming points from other airlines for Virgin velocity points

[Deleted member 6404]

Hi all, Currently in Central America.
And am wondering if I am entitled to velocity points as I flew Delta airline Lax to Cancun.
Also from Belize to Nicaragua with Avianca airlines are they part of the Virgin partners.
Since I paid for all the fares for 3 can I also claim points for the other 2 passenger's, they are not velocity FF members.
Thanks

As far as I know, Avianca are not a Velocity partner. You will be able to earn points for your DL flights.

Velocity does allow family pooling, but that needs to be set up before you fly.

Avianca may be part of Star Alliance, but are not a partner of VA.

I am not sure if SQ allows retrospective claims, but that potentially would be the only way of getting the points into a VA account should the Avianca fare be eligible to earn.
