VA redemptions not available on SQ

[jonboixxx]

I regularly book VA flights as an SQ redemption booking. Currently, I can't see any domestic availability. On ringing SQ (who picked up straight away), they are telling me the same thing; they are not seeing any availability on popular VA domestic routes in any class. I was initially thinking it was a website glitch, but it seems like VA flights cannot currently be booked on SQ?

What dates?

What dates?

All dates that I searched and asked SQ to search. Initially CNS-BNS Aug 21st, but also BNE-SYD, MEL-SYD for months on end, even in economy. Showing on VA but not on SQ.

Managed to get the CNS-BNE Aug 21st after HUACAx2. Still no VA redemption availability showing on SQ; I wonder if it's due to the new award tables?

Yep, I've had similar problems - couldn't find any domestic flights. Also tried to book SIN-SYD-CBR. Could only get flights to show for SIN-SYD and removing the Virgin domestic leg.

Can I just say @jjonnboy that I take my hat off to you and admire you for being able to burn through more-valuable-than-gold KF points for domestic VA flights - I could never do that!

Cheers @MathNerd , my wife and I just returned from Europe courtesy of SQ (J) and have next years Europe summer trip booked as well with SQ. I'll book another OS trip by March next year but will still have points at risk of expiry. To avoid that, I was booking some BNE-CNS trips which were 21k points in J on the old table (compared to 23.5k points using Velocity points). It's a good problem to have, I suppose.

Agreed!
