The action follows the resumption of redemption bookings and mileage/Points conversion for KrisFlyer and Velocity members earlier this year as the next step in restoring the carrier’s partnership to pre-pandemic operations. While earning miles and points has remained constant throughout the pandemic, today’s announcement enables customers to take advantage of all the partnership’s rewards and advantages as demand for international travel keeps rising.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines kept improving their traveller offerings by partnering in one of the most advantageous frequent flyer programme alliances in the world. Customers can now access a wide range of domestic and international destinations through the networks of both airlines thanks to the partnership, opening up a world of convenient travel options.
