    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Yes certainly the SQ earnings are going to be woeful. The positive side I guess if there is any that the lite of standard Y fares on SQ ex Australia and via SIN for some Asian destinations are really very good. I can hardly believe that PER to SGN or HKG or BKK can be under 800 dollars return...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Anyone know what the current status credit point value is flying Brisbane or Sydney to Nadi? Biz and Choice if booked now for flying November. I can never find the international status collection detail.

    will VARA ever expand to the east-coast?

    VARA as currently exists will probably have enough issues trying to retain staff, pilots and CC to keep going once the 320s leave what with all the leases etc on going. I'm assuming most are WA based?

    Indonesia Air Asia returns to DRW

    I think lounge access is actually included at least at PER. One choice of wine (so I have been told..red) and beer. Nah don't think Batik is the answer ..🤭😁..nor really their safety ...

    will VARA ever expand to the east-coast?

    Interesting conversation. However I think the "load" and "filling the plane" is a red herring. It's the yield that counts. Many flights throughout the world can be filled then pulled because the yield makes it not viable. Price and frequency is important but underselling to be viable is a no no.

    My review date is April. I have already received the message that you have retained Platinum and require no further credits or flights. Quite what that means looking forward I dunno!!

    Is that same for being on SQ metal? Even if booked before 02 April but flying in October, I think the new point system is applied?

    So basically if Platinum, for renewal of 800SC you need 400 SC on VA metal all flown by individual, 400 additional can be achieved by pooling or with partners (good luck with that with the partner earning reductions). Does that sum it up or am I missing something?

    I think so yes. Looking at the redemption levels of the partners....probably find not many VA elites will have status going forward. The status earned on Singapore Airlines certainly in Y class ...they may as well offer nothing!! Massive reduction

    Mmmm...so what does that all mean to current VARA staff? Pilots and CC?

    Recent Experiences with Qantas' terminal transfer at SYD

    Yes but having to trail all across the airfield to another terminal some distance away makes it also difficult. For me next time it's easy.....I fly from origin to Singapore, no need for bag pick up...and then connect directly to where I want to go in Australia ignoring the carry on at SYD.

    Recent Experiences with Qantas' terminal transfer at SYD

    Look it's possible....even with a tight turn around but it's never ideal. It's an awful airport with ridiculous international to domestic requirements especially and while the other way around at least no need to pick up your bag and re check in its not brilliant. Maybe one day it will all be...

    Did this come to a reasonable conclusion?

    Melbourne SkyBus gone up again

    Try and get public buses in Albania full stop!! I think using Albania is a poor example. It's not exactly a major European country.....in fact for many years was as socialist as it goes....and not that long ago really hardly had enough electricity to power the country never mind Tirana! But yes...

    Best travel insurance [Is Qantas TI any good]

    Yes that's the same as my current provider. However they do not ask where you are or maybe travelling. It's an annual one so who knows where one may end up. I'm not going to X amount of places I may visit in 12 months. 1741518312 Poor programming.....

    Best travel insurance [Is Qantas TI any good]

    Looking at the annual policy for Qantas TI...yet it seems to want you to put in your destinations...including stopovers. Why? It's annual policy for worldwide destinations. That's just ridiculous.

    Article: The problems with Virgin Australia codeshare bookings

    Yeah as a simple comparison...I was looking at some Singapore Airlines flights to Tokyo from Perth via Singapore and comparing Cathay flights via Hong Kong. Also looked at ANA direct from Perth ...all would be in Y class. I'm Platinum with VA and Gold (OW emerald) with BA at the moment ..final...

    Triple Velocity points to Tasmania (book by 9/3/25)

    I have still refrained as the prices are far to high.
