    Velocity Gold reciprocal perks?

    If you do much travel to and within NZ it's of great benefit IMO - I sometimes think Air NZ do a better job of looking after/recognizing Velocity Golds than VA themselves! Domestically: Gratis seat selection anywhere on plane (except $10 exit row seats), priority check-in, lounge access...

    Another explore gold (Flybuys) offer

    This was my experience as well - the app always showed the right amount of SCs even though the site didn't and once my review was complete all the SCs appeared on the site again. It was comforting to see them again, like having 400 "invisible" SCs that had been floating around somewhere suddenly...

    FlyBuys - Explore Gold offer

    Enjoying this preview of Gold even more than I thought I would thanks to some fortuitous timing - I had several flights booked with VA and NZ already in the 3 month period, so adding on lounge access and priority check-in, boarding, and baggage has been a nice bonus. Especially beating the zoo...

    FlyBuys - Explore Gold offer

    My Explore Gold kicked in last night (no email, just noticed when opening the VA app). Odd thing is that I was Silver with 384SC (none due to expire before May) but, after Explore Gold, my account now shows 129SC. Couldn't see any mentions of it happening in this thread; has anyone else...

    The Joys of Travelling With Luggage & No Status

    I find it a bit frustrating that VA at SYD/MEL still have this slow, manual process while at OOL they have an easy self-service bag drop (shared with TT). With the manual bag drop, all it takes is for the 3 or 4 desk operators to be hit by "problem" passengers (big groups, lots of kids, no ID...

    Have you used a "Bus Gate" in Australia?

    Re: Have you been transferred to or from an international flight in Oz by bus? Experienced this at Sydney just last month (end of October) arriving on SQ251 from SIN (333), parked quite some distance from the terminal. There weren't any announcements so I was quite surprised to find myself...

    VFF number flying Air NZ not shown on ticket

    NZ flight credited to Velocity - FF number not shown on ticket Apologies if this is a silly question, I've found queries relating to flying Air New Zealand while crediting to Velocity but they weren't quite what I was looking for. I've booked SYD-AKL-SYD on NZ, putting in my VFF number during...

    Hello to all

    Hi there, I've been lurking for a while, thought I'd better finally get around to posting something of an introduction. Unfortunately my job keeps me in one corner of NSW, so no work-related flying for me at all. However, I've started doing a lot more leisure flying this year after finally...
