Yes - please check to see if there are secret pouches that have vouchers giving you actual frequent flier miles!

Flying from Aus to the US on a V Promo fare (which seems to be their target market - low fare leisure travellers to LA, or, um, Seattle???) will earn a whopping 4,000 miles rtn!

And also check the seats for discount codes for redeeming those Velocity Points.

The spend rate for a V Australia flight to the US is 94,000 miles + 500 AUD taxes (or another 54,000 miles!)

Granted Qantas isn't much better, but V Australia's FF program is truly horrible.

(And yes, I'm being just a bit cheeky posting my rant with this blog posting, but on QF, DL, or UA, at least I can earn some miles worth something - and it's the one thing keeping me from Flying V Aus - even if the planes do sound fantastic!)
