Few things are, and not just Hobart. $230/day for an i30 out of BNE. Feels like a purchase not a rental.Is it cheaper than a rental car in Hobart?
I believe you need to ring them to do that. Very annoying…Has anyone been able to do a multi city reward?
I’m quite happy to pay cash for the HBA-MEL leg if booked separately. I just wondered is there was some wizardry that would make the total cost of a points booking from HBA to Europe a little less. Perhaps not. One of the interesting things about international flight bookings is that the difference between a flight to and from MEL is only marginally cheaper than the price to HBA ($10-30), even though it includes an additional flight. The opposite seems to apply with points redemptions.
I’ve been on so many delayed flights from HBA that I fear even 3-4 hours isn’t enough to calm my nerves!
They're available, just not a lot of availability. Example: SIN-FRA on SQ326 is available in J on 23 May and bookable online for 92,000 Pts +$51.70Trying to fly from Singapore to Europe in mid-late May but when I search on VA's website using points, only Etihad flights are appearing. Not sure why Direct SQ redemptions haven't shown up, or do we need to ring the call centre for those?

Thanks You ppl are fast - impressive! How do you search so quickly?May 23 & 24 there is SQ J availability SIN-FRA
SQ doesn't have that many routes into Europe so not too hard to cover the field and I actually think the VA interface is faster than the QF one!Thanks You ppl are fast - impressive! How do you search so quickly?
Anything around May 16-19? Doesn't have to be J but Direct is preferred, and the closer to Barcelona or Amsterdam, the better - thanks again!

Or a Y flight for probably $100 each waySQ doesn't have that many routes into Europe so not too hard to cover the field and I actually think the VA interface is faster than the QF one!
If Y is OK then:
ZRH is available 18 and 19 May
MUC is available 17, 18 and 19 May
FRA is available 18 May (two options)
(all on SQ direct flights)
Easy connections by train from FRA and MUC to Amsterdam
True but a 1st class train fare gets you into the middle of Amsterdam vs the airport & total travel time may well be slightly less (taking into account waiting time at the airports vs getting on/off the trains.Or a Y flight for probably $100 each way
Many people find overseas rail travel daunting in a way that air travel isn't - how do you buy tickets? where do you go? what if it's sold out? how do I find the station? how do I even get into it when I find it?True but a 1st class train fare gets you into the middle of Amsterdam vs the airport & total travel time may well be slightly less (taking into account waiting time at the airports vs getting on/off the trains.
From both Frankfurt & Munich Airports there were (are?) no-change ICE trains through to Amsterdam.
I absolutely agree but its just a matter of what suits the individual needsTrue but a 1st class train fare gets you into the middle of Amsterdam vs the airport & total travel time may well be slightly less (taking into account waiting time at the airports vs getting on/off the trains.

Works for me - try this link
Dates are dummy dates - just hit "edit search" at the top to adjust to your liking
It seems the booking form is broken but if you manually edit the link it works.Is anyone else able to get Multi-city Reward bookings working with overseas destinations?

Yes it looks like the system has been "optimised" to display results in a particular way - based on some toying around with it, I think:I appreciate your help - would be nice if Virgin just fixed the booking page though!
Unfortunately after editing the link and trying a few destinations i've noticed that these layovers under 24 hours will price as two seperate flights (had the same outcome with the call centre) - was hoping they would just price at the same total with a layover like most airlines or when you book the exact same flights via Krisflyer.
e.g. BNE - KUL in J is 65k if you take the connections offered by Velocity when booking a 'direct' flight however it prices at 83k when using the (broken) multi-city tool and having a layover under 24 hours.
Hmmmmm
