Flying
on Christmas Day |
The
Christmas holidays are one
of the busiest travel
periods of the year.
Airports are bustling and
flights packed in the days
before and after Christmas.
But much fewer people opt to
travel on 25 December
itself. So, who is flying on

Virgin's
Act of Kindness |
We're
often quick to criticise
airlines when they get it
wrong. But this week one of
our members shares a good
news Virgin Australia story,
recognising the airline for
a small act of kindness that
went a long way. Our member
brown891
was booked to fly with
Virgin Australia from

expensive, but you can
redeem Velocity points for
flights to Christmas Island.
