Reward booking Online

[JennyH]

I am trying to book two reward business class seats MEL-AUK return. I am pretty flexible with dates, but so far it seems I can't find a single suitable set of mid-week flights. Is it that there are truly no reward seats, or is it the recurring problem with the Velocity website which means I need to call the service centre and book over the phone (sigh)? It's times like this that I think I made a massive mistake switching from Qantas.

When are you trying to book for?

VA doesn't offer business class on trans-Tasman flights they operate themselves. Some VA marketed flights operated by Air New Zealand do have business class , but you can't book reward flights on codeshares. You may be able to use Velocity points to purchase a J seat on an NZ marketed and operated flight, but NZ reward inventory isn't searchable online. Unfortunately, yes, you will have to call.

VA also don't fly to Alakanuk (AUK) Airport

Auckland is AKL but as Fruitcake has said, there is no Business on VA operated aircraft (and only a very small number of NZ flights, most are A320's which have Economy only too).

VA do offer Premium Economy to AKL though, but it's not particularly nice.
