Travel geekery: updates to Velocity
A nice little update to Velocity was spotted over on the AFF forums today; Velocity members now earn status credits when flying with EK and MH on qualifying fares.
Of course — finding fares that qualify is a right pain in the ass. The online booking tools for both EK and MH don’t show fare codes for a selected fare, so there’s no easy way of telling whether a given fare will earn Velocity anything. Both Expedia and Zuji are similarly useless, so would definitely need to see a travel agent to be sure.
Fingers crossed that this will expand to offering premium check-in and lounge access on both of these carriers .. EK in particular, as I quite enjoyed flying with them last time. Looks like the status match I got myself is starting to become useful!
