Thoughts on switching to Velocity for Status?... again.
I used to have status on VA pre their NZ alliance and enjoyed their service. Now that I'm just Jade on NZ I'm thinking they're worth another look. It seems that one could get to Gold with them a lot quicker and enjoy benefits on NZ(minus Pacific island flights).
Plus their partner benefits have gotten better too. For example, As of 1 March 2015 silver and up members can request a complimentary upgrade to Delta Comfort+ 24 hours prior to departure.
I know it's not really feasible to gain VA status on domestic flights. But I've got an upcoming NZ long-haul return flight that'll get me Silver and close to Gold on VA, but just barely half way to silver on NZ.
Anyone got experience/advise on using Velocity status while living in NZ?
Chuurs!
