Good morning,

I have been Velocity Platinum for about 8 years now.

I almost exclusively travel Virgin domestically, 3/4 a month, and my international travel is 4x NZ, 2x Singapore or Malaysia, and 2x Europe, mainly The Netherlands.

The upgrade or plain points purchase of international tickets options with Virgin are (too) minimal, and I've been looking at changing to an other frequent flyer plan.

My thinking is that Delta Skymiles might be good; allows me to access the Virgin Lounge, and use KLM for the EU flights (I believe this would be enough to get and keep Platinum there?)

My questions are:

A) is this a correct assumption?
B) can i get and keep Delta status without flying Delta?

Thanks for your help
