Virgin Australia tweaks Velocity Frequent Flyer points scheme
Mar 15, 2016, 05:01 PMProbably a silly question, but I've been looking into Business Reward Seats from MEL to EDI via AUH at the end of August through Virgin's website, every time it's quoting me 906000 points, or even over 1 million points, for a one way Etihad fare.
