OK, really confused about what fare codes corespond with what earn level (as per the Status Earns Tables on the Velocity website). Specifically, I want the Mr and myself to take a trip to Singapore, and I want to maximise my status credits earn without resorting to paying too much for the fares...

I was trawling around online when I saw this thing https://www.roamingdata.com.au/ It is essentially a portable sim powered wifi box...meaning when travelling overseas multiple devices could be connected instead of having numerous o/s sim cards for ipads, tablets, lap tops etc. Anyone here...

I have never been to the USA; hoping to get to LA for my birthday, but I know nothing about the layout of the place. I have been digging around on the interwebs, but have a poor idea about where stuff is in relation to other stuff. And I have heard that getting around can be a bit difficult...

Hey there! My plan is to go to LA for my 50th birthday. My husband was also looking into a side trip of a few days in Cuba (a place I have ALWAYS wanted to go!). Alaska airlines now does a flight from LAX to Havana, but I gather there are restrictions on reasons a foreigner can travel to Cuba...

I just got an email saying I can now check in online for my flight on Thursday. I have never bothered with the early check in thing before but it got me to wondering; if I have already selected my seat etc, and I have luggage so will need to drop that off anyway, is there any point in doing the...

There seem to be so many different options for travel insurance out there, and short of spending countless hours that I can't spare trying to read product disclosure statements written in incomprehensible legalese, I thought I would pick the brains of the marvellous and helpful frequent flyers...

I am going to be travelling in a couple of months, and want to have phone & data access while in three different countries (Singapore, Sweden, Netherlands). So, the diggin around on the internet that I have done suggests the Travel Sim will work for me (have used it before but many years ago so...

I am travelling in June and will be spending time in Singapore, Sweden and Holland. It's been a few years since I have been overseas and would like to know what the best thing to do for travel sim cards for my phone (calls and data) and my ipad (data only) would be. Similarly, what is the best...

If I book a flight on SIA and have a one night stopover each way, can I add the stopover hotel choice at a later date or do I have to know what I want when I make the initial booking. I know all the dates, just want to go through the hotel options before I commit to that part.

I am about to book an overseas flight on Singapore Airlines...I am a Velocity Gold member so want the points and SC earn. I am also a SilverKris member (no status and minimal points banked) but I assume I should quote my Velocity number and not the SilverKris one when I do the booking? Sorry if...

So, I am playing with flight options for a planned trip to Sweden. My preference was to fly SQ and book through VA website. I wanted to have a couple of stopover points for a day or two in a couple of different places, so was looking at Multi-city booking. However, the VA website is not very...

I'm just looking at flights, trying to plan my travel so as to maximise my status credits, and I am somewhat confused (not that this is an uncommon state of brain for me!). On the "Earning Status Credit" page of the Velocity website, it refers to Discount Economy, Full Fare Economy etc, but whe...

So we are off to Adelaide from. Brisbane on Tuesday morning (6.10am flight) - it looks like we get one of the old 737-700s...my question in does it have any kind of IFE and if so, what kind. Specifically, does anyone know if it has the wireless IFE in it?

Do any of the Virgin aircraft serviceing the BNE-MEL and return route have entertainment. Every few months I do a weekend trip and never seem to get a plane that has any entertainment on board; no screens, no music, nada. If it weren't for my trusty iPad I would go....but it got me to thinking...

I have recently attained Gold status. Most often, I travel by myself. However, on occasions, my husband (Red status) comes along....if it is a short trip we will just take one checked bag, free on my Gold. However, what happens with priority boarding etc...do I get to go in the Priority line...

Home from our European adventure, and clever soul that I am, I managed to somehow lose the keys to our Antler suitcases (situation rescued thanks to a late night souvenier shop and an "I love Vienna" multi-tool keyring!). Now we are home and I would like to get replacement keys - where on...

I have never had status before...never really travelled enough to earn it. This past 12 months I have travelled more than usual, especially to Melbourne, and I was rather chuffed to get to Silver, if only because it meant I didnt have to pay to take baggage. :) So, after a recent OS trip (and...

Ok, so we are off to Europe in September (flying SQ). We will be travelling internally mainly by train, however there is one leg (Vienna to Berlin) that we would like to fly. I have never booked internal flights in Europe before, so I would like to pick the well travelled brains here to see what...

OK, please forgive me for being a bit thick. I want to book flights to Europe (probably into Frankfurt). I want to go via Singapore (with at least an overnight stopover each way). I thought (hoped) that, with the new arrangements between VA & SQ, there would be a codeshare kind of arrangement...

So, our Family Pooling problems have been fixed (thanx to help provided on this forum! :mrgreen: ) and my husband's points and SCs are happily coming to me! YAY! Now, my SCs have showed as of today at 255, which should mean (if I understand correctly) that I go to Silver. Does that happen...
