Hi greenfish, Found (and booked!) a flight this morning from MAN to SIN with Saudi Arabia airlines for $700AUD! Very pleased with that as I was struggling to find anything under $1000AUD previously. Anyone have any info on Saudi Arabia airlines? :shock: Still haven't booked SIN to MEL but it...

Hi again guys, I'm ready to book my trip out from MAN > SIN > MEL, any tips!? Thank you :)

Wow that's amazing Greenfish. I might even give myself a day in Paris :) I can't book yet (long story) but will keep you updated :)

That's very kind of you greenfish, yes please PM me the details. I need to arrive in SIN on the 17th (although 16th would be fine too if it's a lot cheaper). Ideally I would like to leave on Monday 21st but it could be the 22nd. Thanks!

Hi guys, Finally booked my flight home, managed to get the extra points for the MEL-MAN reward seat, an absolute bargain in my opinion so thank you to greenfish for pointing that out. The flight back to MEL via SIN is still up in the air (pun intended) but I'm leaning more toward flying out of...

Yes they are in USD :(

Hi guys, I still haven't booked this :( I'm thinking my best bet is greenfish's idea of the 53,100 velocity points to manchester but I need the extra 3000 points. How exactly does one 'borrow from a friend'? I thought only immediate family could pool? Still open to other suggestions and...

The cheapest I can find the BKK--> MAN / MAN --> SIN flight is $1,336 :(

Thanks Murray, not sure if I'm missing something obvious but the cheapest I can get the MEL-MAN / DUB-SIN flights for is $1877??

I will pay $50 to anyone who can get me this under $2000!

Hi everyone, A bit short notice I know but I am looking to fly home to Manchester (or London if that's a lot cheaper / easier) on roughly 23rd June (dates flexible as long as I am home before 29th June) returning via Singapore. I need to be in Singapore for the 18th July and can spend one /...

Yep, I agree (With Straitman)

I'm pretty sure the one I've got is the Black One? I've only had it for two months, are you saying I can do something to get the 30,000 again!?

Yeah I've got David Jones - Damn! I thought I was being clever getting 3 points per $ spend at supermarkets but I guess this is the same as the 1.5 per $ offered with most standard Amex cards. I only signed for for DJ Amex because it was 30,000 bonus points for $99 fee - maybe not such a good...

Ok more questions! Amex MR points to Velocity conversion is 2:1 :( is this definitely the best way to spend them? According to Velocity website, Melbourne to London on a 'Reward Seat' costs from 62,500 Points + $106.02 AUD Taxes & Fees, so I guess this is my target? I'm wary of the word...
