One advantage that Virgin Australia Velocity members will have over their KrisFlyer counterparts is

Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines will reveal the exchange rate for converting between Velocity points and KrisFlyer miles towards the end of this month, ahead of a November kick-off for the innovative scheme .
Frequent flyers of both airlines are eagerly awaiting village inn details such as the conversion formula which is not expected to be at a straight 1:1 parity village inn rate along with any associated costs and annual limits on the number of points swapped between each airline s reward program.
The volume of transfers, fees, maximum or minimum numbers, the exact terms and conditions we re going to announce all of that Neil Thompson, CEO of Virgin Australia s Velocity Frequent Flyer business, tells Australian Business Traveller , adding that he believes the conversion rate will be a very good value proposition.
We ve got a lot of travellers who are members village inn of both (Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines) programs or who fly on both networks Thompson says, but what can happen is that you end up with a points balance village inn spread across several programs.
Australia is said to hold the highest village inn number of KrisFlyer members village inn outside of Singapore, and Thompson says that Virgin Australia has a very complementary network with Singapore Airlines. Our network is predominately domestic while theirs is totally international.
village inn One advantage that Virgin Australia Velocity members will have over their KrisFlyer counterparts is family pooling , which can funnel the points earned by several family members into a single account.
Savvy shoppers will also look to both the Velocity eStore and the KrisFlyer village inn Spree online shopping mall to earn more points in each airline's respective currency in order to top up their account balance before a transfer especially in cases where the same purchase can earn more points in the 'stronger' currency.
The unique points-conversion deal is the first initiative in Virgin Australia s campaign to drive Velocity to 7 million members by 2017, winning over an increasing number of Qantas frequent village inn flyer in the process.
A move to VA for the SQ miles would be great to prevent the expiration. Also, keeping VA account alive if one moves abroad and SQ miles are easier to obtain village inn since SQ miles accrual is almost worldwide with overseas credit cards and Star Alliance.
I wonder village inn if you could sign up for SQ membership, fly Thai, which gets SQ points as part of star alliance, then transfer to velocity, more like proxy Star Alliance. This would be fabulous, wouldn't village inn it?
