I was wanting to book a return flight from Sydney to Singapore in business class using Velocity points.
From what I can see, it will cost 130,000 velocity points + $147.53 AUD if I book via Virgin.
It will cost 93,500 Krisflyer miles + $480.04 AUD through Singapore Airlines (assuming it is booked before the price changes later this month) and I believe this is after the 15% online discount (normally 110,000 miles).
It costs 1.35 Velocity points per Krisflyer miles so 93,500 miles will cost 126,225 Velocity points. That leaves $332.51 in cash difference for only 3,775 extra Velocity points which equates to $11.35/point.
Given it's easier to not have to wait for conversion, am I missing anything in booking straight from the Velocity page?
