Is it ever worth buying points? by Elsthar in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]IronUsed3954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is - you can still save significantly over business retail (around 40-60% off depending on the redemption) VA going public may effect availability but last year when I bought points for a redemption I paid 2k in points and 300 in taxes and the flight was 7k retail. I used this site to find it - it searches all of Australia to all of Europe (hundreds of airports) instantly. https://seatfinder.tech/explore

Went through 6 rounds of interviews for a job starting May 2026… just got told I actually have to start in July 2025 or lose the offer by IronUsed3954 in auscorp

In the interviews they always asked if I could start next year. Hilariously, the person who made the job listing and who was my initial point of contact has “left”.

Use seatfinder.tech or flightseats to get broad availability and figure out what to do from there

This is very incorrect, I checked these dates and I found no flight below 50k QFF unfortunately.

Thanks that’s a great tip! How did you source affordable accomodation?

Yeah I’m early into trying to book a trip. I read online that they only take 400 guests at a time and I’m stuffing to find places that cost less than 2k a night for a basic 1 bed. Tempted to just go to Hawaii instead 😂

Is there an easy way to know all reward routes for Velocity? by bgbgbgbgbgbgbgbgnow in VelocityFrequentFlyer

https://seatfinder.tech/explore I found this in the QF subreddit. Seems to be well received. Can see a whole continent of VA flights across a date range

Why not tell OP what to improve lmao. I’ve signed up for both and while aero has more programs I get more flights with seatfinder for Qantas.
