Canada on Velocity

[assymetric_astronaut]

Hi all, thanks for having me. I started points collecting approx 1.5 years ago to save up for my honeymoon to Canada in December 2027. I have been collecting both Qantas and Velocity, planning to use Qantas to fly over via Fiji airlines in Business, but TBD plans for returning home with velocity (have just found their points much easier to collect). Any suggestions? We will be leaving Montreal but know it will be easier to get a flight from Vancouver or San Fran back home to Sydney. Would love to do a leg in business if possible!

Welcome @assymetric_astronaut - unfortunately getting awards in business class using Velocity points will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. The options are UA or AC neither of which offer J awards (other at least almost never except close in). Others may be able to suggest alternatives. Further December being the start of the Christmas holiday season will make any award (QF or VA) even more difficult.

Have a great time in Canada on your honeymoon - enjoy Montreal, my home town.

Ah that is a bummer. Oh well, will enjoy not paying a cash fare anyway. Thank you for your response!
