Hello, asking for your opinions which Hilton to select in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai for a stay in December. Business and leisure. Any tips welcome. Can't make up my mind at the moment. R.

Dear colleagues, How long does it usually takes you to book a 241 offer via Velocity? I have been at the phone now for almost 20 minutes and it's still not complete (manual calculations). Finally my quote was only 46 A$ cheaper compared to booking 2 saver fares myself. Can't be right. Earlier...

Question to all of my fellow flyers. Have been SQ Gold for a couple of years but after moving to Australia transferred my preferred program to Velocity. Am Platinum now with Velocity and requalified for 2015. Frequent traveler on Mel-Sin but rethinking my decisions. Velocity and Singapore are...

Hello Everyone, been around a while on this forum and trying to contribute, ask, answer and lurk. I feel that there is still a lot to learn to maximize my benefits of my Velocity Frequent Flyer account and my credit cards. There is a lot to read on here and I like it. I ll do it in "chunks"...

Stupid question probably. Read the info online, but just checking: flying premium economy from Melbourne to Nadi on VA. Am I correct that even as a Platinum member I won't have access to the lounge?

Had taken a sentinel membership which came with Velocity Gold/Platinum status. Found out that they would charge me the membership fee (only 1 year valid). Even re-qualification Gold or reaching Platinum won't change that. The offer for sentinel is therefore more "like a try before you buy"...

Just now: flying business class from Boston to Perth today. Office booked the flight. About 5 legs to reach Perth. Boston - Atlanta - Lax - Sydney - Melbourne - Perth (I know why via Melbourne if one can fly from Sydney to Perth... well it was booked, so no drama's). Check in at Delta Priority...

Tried a reward booking online for myself (Platinum) and for partner. Again: didn't work. Didn't get passed the "enter details" page. Kept giving errors that information wasn't complete, although it was. It is 22.27 so I don't feel like calling them to book this flight. Availability limited, so...

I am missing a lot of points from hotel bookings via the Velocity hotel club website. Only one booking came through immediately after I stayed at the hotel. I am still waiting for points related to stays in January, February. Same applies to certain legs of a flight to New York. Some points are...
