Old dog trying to learn new frequent flying tricks

[Mike82]

G'day all.

My name is Mike and I'm another newbie dipping my toe into the world of frequent flying!

Although I've not done an extensive amount of travel, I'm old enough to know how the world works and I'd love to put my 70,000+ Virgin Velocity points to good use.

For now, I suppose it's enough to say that I'm based in Brisbane and would love to take my girlfriend to New Zealand next year. I can use my points for that, right?

I've also lived in Germany and Japan for extended periods of time, so if anyone has any questions about either of those two destinations, feel free to hit me up!

I'm looking forward to learning a bit more about frequent flying and hopefully making some meaningful contributions to this forum myself.

Thanks for reading!

Mike

Welcome Mike and oneFlightAtATime.There is no dog too old to learn new tricks.there are quite a few of us "old dogs" here and most of us have definitely learnt a few tricks.

Mike82? Does the 82 refer to your year of birth? Does the title of this thread indicate you think being born in 82 makes you old? If YES to both - hell that makes serfty and cove absolutely ancient! But welcome also

I'd like to know how to make points work across the ditch too.
