    Article: 4 Reasons You Might Transfer KrisFlyer Miles to Velocity

    If you haven't transferred the KrisPay miles to KF in time, then they stay as KrisPay miles. Not the worst if you have transit or travel to SIN.

    Ooo okay I’ll go have a read. Perhaps I save them then for VA when I can get availability that is haha. Etihad taxes are too much to consider them.
