    Edge vs Velocity Platinum

    Any thoughts on this? Is the Velocity Platinum 100 status credits EVERY YEAR? or only the first year? I have Edge now, but thinking of moving across really only for the status credits.. is this stupid? ($200 more per year, but i'll probably get Gold with the extra 100)

    any suggestions on the best way to get from Adelaide to Singapore recently took Singapore Airlines, i think it is an a330 - pretty painful overnight. I am guessing i'd have to go thru MEL to hopefully snag a different plane?
