redeem points

Hi all, I was wondering what you all would consider a minimum threshold for redemption points value for it to be worth spending Qantas points on? Obviously different things will have different values, such as hotels, classic flight awards, upgrades etc. I'm mainly thinking of using my points on...

Has anyone had any success redeeming Business Class flight Sydney to Honolulu.

I was looking at using my QF points for flights to and from Maldives next year. CX, UL, MH are the QF partners that operate flights to Male. However I can’t seem to even enter MLE as a departure airport on the QF website. (I wanted to book one way from Maldives back) Despite on some dates I was...

I was trying to book a redemption flight for me and my partner from Helsinki back to either/or SYD/MEL/CBR/DPO, but could not find a single redemption flight to Australia for December/Jan. Then I found alternative flights all the way to KL, which is an excellent place for a few days' break. Now...

Hi everyone, I am close to finally booking a "COVIDed out" Maldives trip (Luxury Escapes) and need some advice on air travel, please. I have 683,000 Velocity points and hope to use them to access business class (2 people) for the SYD-SIN-SYD legs. We are planning a couple of nights in...

This notice was in today's Qantas Platinum newsletter: I hadn't really noticed before that you couldn't previously use Qantas points on JAL domestic routes in premium cabins. But it's also quite possible that I just never looked into it. Is this a new thing? FWIW I'm currently *only* seeing...

Hi all Platinum VA FF, booked redemption flight via VA for Qatar return flight MAD-MEL Aug/Sep back in March. At booking and receipt of QR PNR, I selected and paid for basic economy reserved aisle seats. A month ago, there was a small schedule change (30 mins here or there) - I think perhaps...

Managed to get a FJ redemption from SFO-NAN-AKL in business with a 12 hour daytime layover in Nadi for early November for ~ 90k points. Taxes were minimal (75 USD). Will probably stay in New Zealand for 1-6 days before flying back to Oz. There were no seats of QF for months either side. Has...

Hi AFF experts , I have around 300K velocity points and planning to redeem them for travel to Italy/Europe in May 2024 ( not sure if I am already late). I have been searching on velocity portal but unable to find availability in any of the partner airlines which allow reward booking using...

Hi, Does anyone know what the process is or who to best contact when United reward seats (J) through Velocity are booked however it doesn't ticket with United? I spoke to the after hours call centre last night and of course they can only see one reward ticket available now! I got the below...

Hi all, wondering if anyone has insight. I am looking to use a KrisFlyer points redemption for 2 pax in Y from WLG-SYD in January. The website is showing availability on the date I want but when I get to seat selection/ payment it throws an error and tells me to call an agent. I did that and...

Hi Team, anyone know when booking AirNZ using Krisflyer miles, which fare class it books into? And more specifically what baggage/inflight amenities are included. Cant get far enough through booking on SIA website to see anything of interest as dont have any miles in there, and cant find...

Hi I am seeking for thoughts whether this approach is of any advantage. Qantas points one way business class redemption for 82000 points plus taxes (2 passengers) - Outbound Premium economy ticket for $6000 in total for 2 passengers. - Inbound However, the return ticket for premium economy is...

Looking at BNE to FCO - each day is already waitlist in J. Can book separate legs BNE-SIN and SIN-FCO with no problem at all Have not redeemed for 6 months and previously had no problem booking in J to Europe for 4 people on first available day. Is this the new norm now or just picked difficult...

Just looking to book 2x redemption seats for MEL/LAX, but notice there is zero availability one year out. I don't have Velocity status so maybe the plats and golds have snapped them up. There are some partner airlines with viability (via Singapore or Doha) with long layovers and eyewatering...

On enquiring of Qantas I get a response that indicates all e tickets are queued whether paid flight that are changed by Qantas or redemption flights where Qanats initiated a change. Our reality is that it takes 3 or even 4 phone calls weeks after the change has been effected to obtain a new e...

Can anyone advise if I should expect to have KrisFlyer lounge access in Singapore on a SQ redemption flight as Velocity Gold status? I’m looking to redeem flights directly with SQ, but because of this, I can’t attach my velocity FF number at the booking page - will I still have lounge access by...

Hi, First time poster. I have a honeymoon planned for Next year and have Transferred points to Asia Miles when they had a 15% bonus. I am wanting to travel from Paris to Bangkok. Ideally via Helsinki as Finnair has a direct HEL - BKK flight however availability is limited, so thinking of going...
