HI folks,

I’m super new to all of this, i have about 300K in point with velocity which has taken a few years to rack up. Although I’m not looking at doing it now, where is the best place to purchase flight tickets with rewards points. I checked velocity and they want a lot of points for one person return eg Sydney to Japan. This is more curiosity for future plans.

Redeemed via Velocity and flying via Singapore, it should cost 118000 1 way on business.

If transferring to Krisflyer, on the same route as above, it should cost 65875 Krisflyer (88931 Velocity points) 1 way on business.

To learn how to weigh up the pros and cons, please have a read of this.

In summary, if you are point rich, go via velocity for lower surcharge/tax. If you are short of points, go via Krisflyer.
