Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines launched their world-first conversion initiative, enabling members of Velocity Frequent Flyer and KrisFlyer to convert Miles and Points between programs.

Velocity Frequent Flyer and KrisFlyer members are now able to convert their Points and Miles at a rate of 1.35 to 1.00, offering greater access to Reward Seats and flight upgrades on one another's airlines. The conversion rate reflects the fact that each airline program operates in a different reward program currency.

As part of a range of enhancements, Velocity Frequent Flyer members will soon experience a more seamless booking process through a major upgrade to the online booking capability, which will allow them to redeem flights with Singapore Airlines and SilkAir online via the Velocity Frequent Flyer website.

Velocity Frequent Flyer Chief Executive Officer, Neil Thompson said: "œWe are continually looking for ways to innovate in the loyalty space to ensure our members are getting the most out of the program."

"œThe introduction of this unique conversion opportunity between KrisFlyer and Velocity Frequent Flyer will allow us to take the program to the next level for our members."
