    Singapore redemption saga, no resolution - help!

    I regret to have to moan about a not-so-good predicament I now find myself in regarding my SQ redemption booking. This is a prolonged saga so I will get on with getting down the details. 1. Originally I booked an F redemption from MEL-HKG-SFO for June of this year about 11 months in advance...

    VA Redemption on Etihad

    I have just redeemed Velocity points for a shorthaul Etihad business class flight AUH-MCT. Cost: 18,000 Velocity plus AUD 265 The retail cost of this flight is apparently AUD 2,306. So I got $2,041 value for 18,000 points. That makes 11.3c per Velocity point. That must make this one of the...

    VA Redemption on HA?

    Has anyone ever managed to redeem Velocity Points successfully on HA? I found some saver seats, both showing on HA and AA for redemption (HNL-HND). Called VA up today - and they couldn't even see the flight loaded into their system, let alone availability in J. I asked them why this is, and...

    Improved display of flights on Virgin - paid and reward

    Hi all - was looking at flights today and noticed what appeared to be an improved display of both paid and reward availability including both economy and business... Certainly makes it easier to see which flights have the lowest priced Bus. Class seats!

    DFW-LHR redemption using QFF points

    Trying to book DFW-LHR for 4 pax in whY in June using QFF points and the QF site (one-way and multicity) shows nothing. AA shows plenty of availability as does the JAL site (although that doesn't seem straightforward for a new member these days). Does this mean that the seats can't/won't be...

    A bit confused - QF Redemption

    Hi Brains Trust, Apologies if this has been asked before. I've been scouring the community and I'm tripping over myself with the different responses. I know rewards seats are released around 330 days out, so I think that's the first place I went wrong. I used to be a travel agent and waaaay...

    Painfully slow QFF gift card redemption

    Sick of my QFF points sitting there gathering dust, so I took advantage of the gift card sale they had. Fiancee works for Apple so we get a pretty hefty discount, and I needed a new Mac for the business so got enough gift cards to cover what I was after. 3 days later, still haven't had them sent...

    Are there issues with searching Partner reward seats on VA currently?

    Evening all - wondering if anyone has successfully redeemed a Business Reward Seat on United using VA points? I'm looking for May (I know, probably way too late - but I can hope). Out of interest I've looked months ahead as well and can see nothing. Do they exist?!

    Upgrading with paid fare vs classic redemption

    A question regarding upgrades: Say there is business class Classic Rewards availability for both legs of a return flight from Sydney to Bangkok. If instead of redeeming my points for this trip, I instead buy an upgradeable cash fare, am I guaranteed an on-the-spot upgrade with points when I...

    Adding infant revenue tickets to redemption PNR

    If I may, I'd like to raise this from the QR FF thread to the consciousness of a wider AFF audience. (@boojah , @blingy90 ) Any ideas? It seems that over the years other airlines have had similar problems - see my links in thread The complicating but common denominator is the partner airline...

    VA Partner Business Redemption

    Is anyone familiar with how business reward point fares are dropped into the system with Velocity? Am trying to hit the US in March but can't seem to find any business rewards in March nor the preceding/proceeding 3 months. Do they usually fall in last minute? I remember when VA was running...

    Adding a child to a KF redemption booking / book for a child standalone?

    Hi everyone - a bit of a weird one that I could not figure out online as well as call centre waiting times for SQ are shocking. Does anyone have any view or even experience whether a child (paid) can be added to a redemption ticket booked for myself? I have enough KF for my own ticket but not...

The search engine only spits out flights on QR via Doha which i dont want to use. 2 calls to the Velocity call centre didnt help either. Does this...

    AA redemption on QF domestic - errors

    I’m very comfortable and familiar with making an AA booking using points for QF domestic flights. That includes the El Segundo method and other little tricks. But in the past few weeks I’ve noticed that no matter which flight I select (MEL-PER-MEL for example) for several months out, it throws...

    United Gold on VA redemption booking

    I'm United Gold and VA Silver. I understand with UA Gold I can get into VA domestic lounges and get priority check-in and boarding. No issues with paid tickets but when I use VA miles for a redemption ticket, obviously my VA Silver status will be noted on my boarding pass instead of my UA Gold...

    Hi everyone. I am new to Cathay, having always flown QF redemption flights. I have 360000 points stuck in Cathay, transferred as a result of them showing some QR flights that weren't actually able to be booked because they were 10 months away (why did the Cathay website show them when they...
