Hey guys, I'm looking for 60+ SC to hit gold ex MEL. All sectors are covered just need the 60 SC... any ideas on runs? Weekend away to GC or similar would be nice.

What are the day to day implications of this? I fly regularly between MEL and MEX via LAX.

Unfortunately all my family is overseas and don't have Velocity...

So... I miscalculated my points and burnt more points than I should've over the weekend. :oops: Now I'm short 1,100 points to upgrade MEL-BNE in J, connecting to LAX in J as well. Not a big deal but it'd be nice to sit next to my wife and daughter who are travelling in J. Do you know of any...

Hi theevilmuppet Did you upgrade the MEL-BNE leg to business as well? I'm flying to LAX in the same route but no availability has been available to upgrade the outbound domestic leg, even though I've been looking every week for 9 months or so.

True, I wasn't aware they checked for awards and upgrades. The issue is that they don't support VA.

It'd be great if there was an app that alerted you if and when your wanted reward flight was available for redemption so you don't have to manually check every time. There's a great app idea :P

Hi, I've upgraded the long haul flights to LAX from MEL via BNE, however there doesn't seem to be availability for the MEL-BNE leg (2 pax) on the 3 Nov flight VA313, and on the return 27 Nov VA318 (1 pax). I have a platinum complimentary upgrade that I want to use before it expires and the...

Yes, there is the option of booking for 15,000 SGP points + $275 USD per night, plus charges and taxes so ultimately end up being close to the best rate.

Hi, I'm looking to stay 2 nights at the W South Beach from the 21st November 2015. The current rate is around $632 USD per night inc taxes and charges, which is more than what I want to pay. Any tricks on how to better this rate? I just opened a SPG account so can buy the 20k points if it...

Just an update, I called VA Platinum and requested Row 5. She changed my booking without a problem, however since my wife and daughter were on a separate booking she was reluctant to change them to row 5 as they're not platinum. I asked her to check with her manager and it was fixed without...

Thanks for your feedback. So row 5 sounds like the best bet... how do you secure them, through a call to the platinum team?

Wife, daughter (under 2) and I will be flying J to LA using points later in the year. We have been allocated seats 1H and 1K, so I have a couple of questions: - Are these seats ideal when flying with an infant? - I've read about row 5, what are the benefits if any? They're available. - When is...

Thanks for the info guys, it seems like I won't be buying it through them then. I've been saving points for a while now towards J so class fare is key.

Hi guys, The Discover the Americas expo is in Melbourne this weekend. I'm looking to travel with my wife and baby girl next year and have a good chunk of points that I'm looking to burn to upgrade to Business. VA's website states that upgrades from a Flexi fare must be (Y, B, H, K or L) and...

If you upgrade to business from Flexi Y or Y+, do you still accrue the points and SC based on Y or none at all?

Thanks for your input guys, I'l definitely look into buying Y+ and upgrade to J.

I'm looking to upgrade from Y to Y+ using points... which is 45k points according to the site. However the price of a flexi Y needed to upgrade is almost the same price as buying a saver Y+ (a couple of hundred difference). Why would I use 45k to upgrade when the price for flexi Y is almost...
