Velocity points do not partially expire....either they ALL expire, or none expire. So there's no scenario related to expiry that would leave you missing some points...unless when you say you were "short" you mean your balance was zero.

The only VA partner where I think last minute business class availability seems to be "a thing" is I think, United...although with Etihad now limiting partners to booking business class 30 days out...perhaps this a new opportunity...haven't really checked. For QR and SQ...you will probably be...

It's not uncommon that the availability of VA codeshare flights can be very limited...although it does seem exceptionally so this far out.

They're not doing a transit at NRT...they're doing a self transit from NRT to HND.

Yes they do...Star Alliance rules. If you wish you could go to the Air NZ lounge at SYD. There are no other Star Alliance lounges at SIN though.

You're searching for something you won't find. All business class passengers will get entry to the Silverkris lounge...regardless of how they booked / FF status.

You are proposing to have 1 VA ticket and 1 NZ ticket...so that will never happen. Neither ticketing carrier will touch the other's ticket...assuming that they even have access to be able to manage it.

They're not going to protect you from delays and misconnects on separate tickets. The best you can hope for is bags being checked through, which as mentioned is also doubtful.

I'm confused...EF is showing a 787 seatmap and the app version is a 737...no?

No. If the itinerary involves the US. Your citizenship / residency status isn't relevant.

There MAY (unlikely if your itinerary doesn't touch The Americas) be free cancellation within 24 hours...but that is likely to be your only 'less expense' option...with all the inherent risks.

Once you hit 1300/800 status credits in renewal you can gift gold to someone else. Once you hit 1800/800 status credits in renewal you can gift platinum to someone else.

Probably just broken...as usual.

The bolding refers to the part underneath. This is US DoT regulation...free cancellation must be allowed within 24 hours of booking. For all other bookings not touching the US the standard cancellation fee will apply.

Everyone knows that except the person updating the lounge access info on the Velocity website. Actually...it looks like they've updated it! And they nearly managed to do it correctly!

They both use Amadeus I think so the booking reference should be the same .

...and...apparently Velocity Gold and Plat only get lounge access at Singapore...not other SQ operated lounges (not true...but that's what they've written).

Possibly the same work experience kid they just used to update the page on Singapore Airlines lounge access and completely butchered it.

That was not listed anywhere in the terms and conditions and I'd be very surprised if it were the case.

I would also look out for the Amex Velocity Plat...preferably with about 100k sign up points. Not only would that offset the annual fee but the card also includes an annual complimentary return domestic flight. It's a pity that Coles Mastercard is about to start charging international...
