I am a Velocity Silver member and currently have a balance of 280 SCs (none expiring until at least May).
I am planning a trip from HBA-MEL-SIN-PVG in April. The difference between a saver fare and a flexi fare is only about $200 on this route.
If I buy a flexi fare, would I earn full economy points and status credits rather than discount economy? What letter code fare does a Flexi fare book you in with VA? And because the international portion is codeshared and run by SQ, does that alter the number of points I earn? Do I still earn points for the sector HBA-MEL and how would it be calculated? By just miles?
Should I book into a flexi fare in the hope that this will get me nearer to upgrading to Gold, or should I just buy the cheapest fare?
Many thanks.
