Difficulty in finding Velocity award seats to Europe

[serfty]

Ah, doesn’t seem to be the case with many other airlines who presumably use different system/s. Certainly disadvantages VFF members.

When Virgin Blue and V-Australia merged to become Virgin Australia, the systems used had been Navitair and Amadeus respectively. If they had made what I would consider the generally more sensible decision to switch all to Amadeus (which does not have this 330 limitation) this timing issue would not arise.

330 days is no darn good if you need a reward seat closer to the date than that. This is why I'm starting to think reward seats are not worth it....too hard to obtain at times..

That penny has dropped for many - head on over to the threads that discuss "juice v squeeze" in great detail. The TL;DR is that it still works for some and a great many live in hope. The ultimate YMMV, if you will.
