More destinations now online for economy and business rewards

[Velocity Frequent Flyer]

We have just added over 25 new destinations in Europe and Middle East to the Velocity rewards online booking engine.
We know a large number of you have been waiting for such news!

(These are codeshare destinations operated by our partner Etihad Airways)

Any chance of fixing the VA $$$ site so that Asia is more than two destinations, pretty hard to book a codeshare ex SIN using money.

So I can search for the new destinations using the virginaustralia.com.au (thanks VFF!) front page, but either from within the velocity site or once you start a search and then modify it the new destinations don't show up.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing, or is it just my PC caching something?


Oh, and Amsterdam and Milan don't seem to show up (as they didn't last week with a little hack that let us search for most other European destinations)... Again, is this just me?

Edit: No Brussels or Geneva either?

Cheers,

Danny

They are appearing ok for me if I select an Australian port as origin both within Velocity and on the modify screens. Had a couple of issues earlier today, but now looks ok.

Edit: To clarify, I can see Geneva and Brussels, but not Amsterdam or Milan

Are there any plans to enable redemptions to SIN to be booked online at some point rather than having to call?

Ah... So something is different if you do a round trip booking versus a one way from Europe!

Milan and Amsterdam are not approved for codeshare at this stage.... will need to call to book these ones

Nice to see that you can finally include VA29 / VA30 on a reward itinerary for Australia - Europe! I'd like to know what happened to the fabulous availability though .. I used to be able to get J reward space on the vast majority of EY flights .. that appears to be no longer the case (heck, Y reward space is a bit thin on the ground). Is this an intentional change? :-|

Good News! Any idea when additional usa destinations on the same reward ticket as a VA reward flight will be added?
