Above is points and status credits for some recent flights, should I be asking the pilots to take the long way home more often or do a few laps of the airfield to crank up the earnings. The BNE NTL flight was 935 earlier in the year, I know they have recently completed the Buladelah bypass now so that has shortened the coastal drive :cool: but how did he shave off so much on the way up to Emerald or did he fly past Mum's for a otw home put the kettle on for his home run back to Brissy :mrgreen:
 
The points earn on Velocity is $ based not distance based as it is with Qantas.

As a Platinum you would earn 5x the amount spent on the airfare + 100% bonus.

Damn and here I thought I'd found a sneaky way to rack up a few more points, didn't realize it wasn't distance based had always presumed it was same as Qantas, oh well if he does a couple extra laps maybe I can sneak in a second wine in on the run home.
