    This has been on my mind for a while, ever since a 20 something AFF member mentioned their midlife crisis (apologies as I don’t remember your handle). It sticks in my mind because AFF members pointed out that there was plenty of time for that later! I have a great family and have done well...

    SQ Availability when using Velocity Points

    I've booked my fair share of Singapore flights directly with KrisMiles. But, I always thought if a Y or J reward seats was shown as a "saver" on the Singapore site, it was also available on Virgin's site and bookable with Velocity points. Obviously, the benefit of booking with VA is that you...

I will cancel the Y booking closer to...
