Booked syd-LHR to visit my Mum for her birthday in May. Obviously almost definitely won't be able to travel then. But as I had treated myself to business class tickets on points - booked 11 months ahead to ensure the right dates - I would prefer to keep the flights.
My points were originally Virgin Australia Velocity, transferred to Krisflyer.
Outward leg booked via Virgin (SQ flight), return leg booked via SQ.
Worried that Virgin may not exist by the time this is all over and will lose many thousands of carefully saved points...
Thanks
I don't know what mechanism would apply to redeposit your miles, but I would assume with close to complete certainty that you won't want or be able to travel to the UK by May. Expect greater restrictions on entry and movement and then quarantine at both ends. Almost everything is likely to still be closed and you may have problems getting back home. Of course the world could be back to normal, but that is unlikely given the way this is spreading, especially in the UK now. China is slowly getting back to 'normal' about four months after the outbreak...
I am assuming that none of our summer travel is happening.
