KrisFlyer & Virgin Velocity Devaluation!

Date:

ALERT! If you are a Virgin Velocity member who regularly converts your points to KrisFlyer, or vice versa, you might want to convert all of your points urgently before January 1st 2019.

There will be a new conversion rate come January and members are set to be 13% worst off!

Current conversion rate = 1.35 KrisFlyer = 1 Velocity

NEW conversion rate = 1.55 KrisFlyer = 1 Velocity

To put this into perspective, you currently need 28,000 KrisFlyer points to redeem an economy class flight between Melbourne and Singapore. That equates to 37,800 Velocity points. Come 2019, that figure will increase to 43,400 Velocity Points.

Don’t we all love devaluations?!

Flight Review: CX439 Airbus 321NEO New Business Class ICN-HKG

Flew Cathay Pacific's new business class on their A321Neo (adorable "mini racoon" nickname?). Huge upgrade from their older domestic seats! The wider, comfy seats impressed me. But the star was the recline. Unlike some airlines (think budget carriers), it wasn't just a footrest and lean back. This seat reclined like a rocking chair, distributing weight evenly and giving great back support – perfect for shorter flights!

Flight Review: TK168 Turkish Airlines Singapore-Melbourne Economy Class (Inaugural)

On March 2, 2024, TK168 departed from Singapore to Melbourne. Due to a last-minute rescheduling, the flight was light, with only around 50 passengers in Economy. However, Business Class appeared full, likely due to VIPs and media accompanying Dr. Ahmet Bolat, the Chairman of Turkish Airlines. The entire Business Class section was reserved for VIPs.
