    Can I still earn SCs/Velocity points on Air NZ flights?

    So I'm planning a trip to NZ (start of September), and I was hoping to experience Air NZ Premium Economy one last time but given the relationship breakdown and the October divorce settlement, will I earn SCs and all that on a flight if I was to book it today? I can't seem to find anything on...

    Get out of JetStar flight

    Hi All, I'm a non-JetStar flyer and bought a flight between MEL > KUL about 6 weeks ago. I'm supposed to leave in a few days, but since then, I've come across much better connecting flights with SQ, and want to rebook with them. I've got a starter fare which has no cancellation benefits, so...

    https://aircanada.mediaroom.com/2017-08-31-Air-Canada-To-Launch-New-International-Boeing-787-Dreamliner-Routes-from-Vancouver TL;DR: Air Canada's 3-times weekly direct flights between Vancouver and Melbourne will become permanent from June 2018, and not just seasonal as they are now. Could...

    Flying to Canada...

    Hi all, I'm doing some preliminary research for a Canada trip in mid-2018 (Montreal to be precise), and just realised that VA offer codeshare flights on AC, although you don't earn status credits (but do earn velocity points?). I'd rather maximise my status credits rather than points, and seeing...

    Baggage allowance on Air NZ as a Gold member

    Hello, I've got a flight coming up in late Feb from MEL > DUD, connecting in CHC. From my understanding, I'm allowed my 2 free checked bags from MEL > CHC, but are they still free when flying to the domestic route to DUD? The 2 flights were booked as separate bookings, due to last minute...

    Flying CHC to DUD with Air NZ - No Status Credit

    I'm travelling to Dunedin for some work in mid-Feb from MEL via CHC, all on Air NZ, and wanted to make sure I got Velocity status credit for all my flights. However upon checking the NZ domestic connection, it turns out all tickets (From Seat to Flexi Plus) only offer a 'G' fare class, which of...

    Domestic Air New Zealand SCs

    About 3 weeks ago I was in NZ for work and flew between Wellington and Christchurch with Air NZ. After my trip, (about a week ago) no SCs had been credited so filed a missing points claim, only to receive an email from Velocity advising me that the flight booked wasn't able to earn Velocity SCs...

    Should I use my points to buy annual lounge access?

    I've been considering joining the Virgin lounge for some time now, and since I've become a Silver member, I don't have to pay the joining fee. I've got around 22,000 points and if I was to use them, I'd pay only $150 for an annual membership instead of $300. The way I see it, I can use use my...

    Thank you Virgin staff!

    I just wanted to share my story of travelling to Sydney on Friday morning that could've ended quite badly! Due to traffic in the morning, I arrived at the airport just as the flight was starting to board, having no checked bags I quickly made my way through security, got to the gate, got on the...

    Velocity lounge access while flying Air NZ to NZ?

    Hi all, I stumbled upon this while Googling various things, and seems this is something I've been looking for! I'm a Silver Velocity member, as well as Virgin Lounge member. I'll be flying to Queenstown later in the year from Melbourne with Air NZ, and since I'm not a Koru member or flying with...
