As above

I can see availability of Business rewards flights - which I can purchase if I transfer my krisflyer points...but is there any way to book it through Krisflyer without transferring points?
 
I presume you need to call krisflyer to book. If you look at the KrisFlyer award chart, is it better value to transfer to velocity? When I last looked, using KrisFlyer points to book VA flights was poor value.
 
OOL-SYD is often one of the cheaper $ flights. Is it really worth using points or do you simply want to get rid of them?
 
VA award flights should appear on the Singapore Airlines website now.

Redeeming KrisFlyer miles can be good value, but only really on longer routes within the eastern states and SA, e.g. MEL-CNS or ISA-BNE-ADL.
 
Has anyone been able to book the new BNE-HND with KrisFlyer miles?

I tried to book this over the phone today (nothing showing online) but they weren't able to see this flight. Any ideas when this will be bookable with KrisFlyer miles or how to find out?
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

Sorry. Should have realized!

I see what you mean. There are VA reward seats available but do not show on KF. Obviously, VA and SG haven’t sorted their systems out. If going direct is important, I’d transfer the points to virgin and book on the virgin site. Perhaps not the best use of points, given you can go on singapore airlines via Singapore.

Possible but much cheaper to book directly with SG:

VA77 with KrisFlyer miles: 64,000
VA77 with KrisFlyer miles converted: 99,200
SG metal via Singapore: 91,000

After some back and forth with a very helpful SG rep we found that they are able to see the flight and available reward seats but their system can't book it yet. No time-frame given as to when it will be possible.
