Family pooling and partner airlines
Hi all,
Does family pooling also work with partner airlines?
i.e. Will I get status credits and points from family pooling when we are flying with SQ?
If so, strongly considering crediting all my upcoming SQ travel to Velocity. I'll have enough status credits to make platinum!
Thanks.

Hi. I wasn't sure where to ask this question. And I hope it's allowed. Who are some good travel points blogs to follow for the Australian market? This is for my brother who just joined the Virgin Australia Velocity FF program. He lives in Sydney. Many thanks

Ahhh ok. Thats for the education. Im based in Los Angeles, and am very familiar with the US travel points market. No idea about Aust. But thanks for pointing me in the right direction

With VA & QF ff points/miles and status are distance based and not revenue based like AA, DL, UA.
VA has freq flyer partners including UA, AC & QR Qatar.
If your brother is from USA and only in Aussie for a few years would strongly recommend *not* crediting to any AU based ffp. Frequent (entitled) upgrades are not part of the Aussie frequent flyer experience. But mid-top status will get lounge access, so better than USA ffp's.
