Family pooling when using a partner airline

[EuroFlyer]

Hi FFlyers,
A quick question if I could. I have family pooling set up in Velocity with my partner as we fly allot together and I fly occasionally with work. I have successfully pooled some flights we have taken together already. We are taking a trip with Etihad Mel - Dub return. I currently have a Etihad frequent flyer number against this booking as at the time there was a special double mile offer for available and I thought I would already be gold with Virgin. However I did the calculation and If I was to take the status credits from the flight as Virgin credits (pooled together) I would hit gold FFlyer, I think this is of more benefit to me than anything Etihad could offer.

Question, Can you change a booking to remove a Etihad frequent flyer number to add my velocity number and also Is family pooling available even for flights with a partner airline?


Thanks,
EuroFlyer

Don't know about the Etihad bit but yes family pooling does work on partner airlines.

It worked fine for me on Etihad recently.
