Beginner's Guide to Velocity Frequent Flyer The Ultimate (Unofficial) Beginner’s Guide to Velocity Frequent Flyer A Guide to understanding and obtaining maximum value from Virgin Australia’s frequent flyer program 3 August, 2015 Ultimate (Unofficial) Guide to Velocity Frequent Flyer | 2 Executive Summary When Virgin Australia’s Velocity Frequent Flyer program was re-launched in 2011, one of its main aims was to be better than Qantas. In many aspects, Virgin has succeeded. Velocity Frequent Flyer now offers significant benefits – many of which are unique to the program – to Australian frequent flyers. Velocity Frequent Flyer is packed full of potential value if you understand the program and know how best to use it to your advantage. This Beginner’s Guide will explain everything you need to know about the Velocity program in easy-to-understand language. It explores the very best ways to earn and burn points, as well how to take advantage of the program’s best features. For example, did you know that you can use your Velocity points to fly on Star Alliance airlines – even in First Class – by transferring them to Singapore Airlines’ frequent flyer program? Or that Velocity members have access to complimentary elite status with a range of hotel and hire car loyalty programs? We’ll also show you how to get the reward seats you want, how to take advantage of Family Pooling, methods of earning Velocity points for free, and even strategies to save money on your next Virgin Australia flight! The Guide points out the best and worst features of the program, without the marketing spin. It will show you how to avoid the pitfalls, and how to take maximum advantage of the many unique benefits offered by the Velocity program. If you fly often, you will be able to climb the status ladder and take advantage of the perks Virgin offers to Silver, Gold and Platinum elite flyers. But even if you don’t fly often, there is still much value in the Velocity program. The Guide looks at the many ways to earn points without flying, and how best to use them. Plus, even if you only take only family holiday each year, you may still be able to enjoy the perks of Gold status! We’ll show you how. This Guide covers everything you need to know, from the basics to advanced and little- known techniques to reap the rewards on offer. Even if you fly Virgin regularly, we are confident that you’ll learn some new tricks. Before you know it, you’ll be living it up in the pointy end of the plane – that’s right, business or first class – on a flight to a destination of your choice!
