Re: Skywards redemptions on Virgin Blue
The interesting thing here will be the rate for redemptions - I'm about to book flights for a friend on Emirates, with the aim of running up Velocity points (0.5 points per mile in discount economy) which will give her an added bonus flight in Australia. (just under 11,000 Velocity points - enough for a one way SYD-BNE or SYD-MEL not including taxes)
But if she was to keep the points in Skywards and redeem for a flight directly, I wonder if I'll be able to get a better deal on that Virgin Blue flight. |

Re: Skywards redemptions on Virgin Blue
Anyone got any further thoughts on this.
About to book a Syd-Christchurch trip on DJ/EK and wondering which program I should post to. Minimal points and no status in both |
