redeem points

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...

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...

A question to the experienced ones before I start messing up with the QF online booking system. I'd like to redeem a QF gift voucher for a itinerary SYD - xSIN - KUL - [stopover] - BKI - xKUL - xSIN - SYD. The legs SIN - ... - SIN I'd like to do as MH reward flights. How should I try to...

I cannot see any award availability on any dates ex Abu Dhabi to Europe (tried multiple cities and multiple dates) on Etihad using Velocity points. 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...

Not sure if this has been discussed before or if it is normal practice for Qantas - not somehting I have experienced before regardless of the travel period. I have (multiple times) been able to book flights between Melbourne and Denpasar/Bali using the Qantas site (points, reward seats, or...

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...

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...

Anyone know of any other programs to redeem China Airlines apart from Qantas? Seems like Qantas can only book 2x Business / 2 x Premium economy per flight but I need to book 3x J and 2 x PE. Please someone point me in the right direction

I am planning a redemption for Dec 23 in J from BNE to LHR for 4 adults. The connections in Singapore for 4 people all seem pretty horrible, most days (looking now for early Nov) I'd be lucky with 8 hours, but will more likely be 17 hours. As such, I am wondering if it's possible under the same...

I have a Velocity redemption for 2 pax. One pax now cant travel. I have looked at manage my booking and cant see how to amend the booking to delete one pax. Is this possible either online or on the phone? It is a Velocity booking on SQ flights. If not possible to amend the booking does anyone...

Can VA points be used to redeem tickets for non-family members for travel from US to AUS and return? Thanks

Hi Does anybody know if I can transit in Changi and get my luggage ticketed to final destination, when flying from Europe to Australia on 2 separate SQ redemption bookings. Would it also work if the Australia leg was on a paid Scoot ticket?

Hi, Using the Qantas points calculator (https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/calculators.html#/usepoints) I get an estimate that a return trip from Melbourne (MEL) to Honolulu (HNL) will cost 52,000 points total. In the Qantas booking system using points, it is suggesting that one way...

Hello everyone. Scratching my head here trying to figure out if possible or not. Have a boatload of points with KF and keen to use them on a reward flight South America on Avianca. In short, is it possible to book AV flights (I can see lifemile seats available) using KF points?

Hi Evryone, In your opinion/experience, was it easier to redeem the Star Alliance or the ONeWorld RTW award (J) tickets? I understand that I will have to call SIA for Star Alliance redemption, but what about One World? Can it be done online on QFF website?? Thanks!

Hi all, Firstly, my apologies if this was discussed or enquiry answered on a different thread, which I did not find. I have a feeling that this is due to a QFF tier restriction/advantage, so as QF Red members, there are some 'hidden' redemption availability that are not available to us, can...

Hi All I can redeem J class from MEL - SIN, then SIN to KIX(Osaka) seperately using points. But when I try and do it direct MEL - KIX only a waitlist option comes up. They are all the same flights. It's cheaper by about 20,000 points doing it in one go. Any ideas why this is happening...

Looks like a recent "enhancement". Looking to book a simple CBR-SYD award x 4, which costs (7800 + $43.90 or 15300 points). I have ~40K points in my account which is enough for 4 x (7800 + $43.90) awards. But the booking doesn't let me proceed to the next page, as I don't have enough points...

Hi I have a lot of Altitude Reward Points, wondering what ppl usual redeem with them that is good value, I notice there is a bonus 15% t/f to velocity but my rough calls suggests (as I assume with all transfers) be a loss in value for me (based on say one way domestic flights) compared to buying...
