VS : Are KF Miles the SAME as Elite Miles ??

[dukesy]

Just a quick note guys

VS have some good premium fares atm (Sub £3k for LHR-SYD in UC on a Z fare basis) but I am wondering something

I appreciate that you get 150% of KF miles, but do they count as ELITE miles (i am a few K of my *G requalification and need to get that!)

There is a little confusion on TOF wether it is JUST KF miles & wether they count towards *G Requal as they are not a *A carrier ?

Can anyone help please ?


TIA

From past experience they do.

Z is 125% so you will get 125% elite miles.

Sorry to hijack, but usually how long does it usually take for miles to post from VS flights to KF?

Thanks

3249 GBP isn't cheap - and that's before taxes... I would do a quick flight to Germany and fly on BA/QF for 3177 GBP in Business (FRA-LHR-SIN-SYD) and save the UK departure tax of 180 GBP. First Class (QF A380) is only 4190 GBP ex Germany via London and again comes without the departure tax.

If you wanna fly SQ, do so from BCN (BCN-SIN-SYD). Round trip is 3250 GBP in Business Class. 77W and A380 all the way. You save UK departure tax.

I just booked at sub £3k all in inc taxes.

Flying VS A340 via HKG in Z, fare was about £2200, 750 taxes...

And i get my miles top up i need !!

As i am only in SYD for 2 days, i dont really have the luxury of time to go via bcn/fra Im afraid...
