Some destinations require a connecting flight, for example when flying from Sydney to New York, your journey might have you fly from Sydney to Los Angeles and then onwards from Los Angeles to New York.

The number of Points required for your Reward Seat will be higher if you take a break in your journey, between your connecting flights.

If there is no break in your journey the number of Points required for your Reward Seat will be based on the total miles between the two cities e.g from Sydney to New York this is 9,950 miles and 59,800 Points for a one way economy class Reward seat with United Airlines.

If you decide to take a break in your journey, the number of Points required is calculated on a per sector basis. From Sydney to Los Angeles this is a 7,488 miles journey one way (44,800 Points for an economy class Reward seat with United Airlines) and from Los Angeles to New York this is a 2,475 miles journey one way (22,300 Points for an economy class Reward seat with United Airlines). This is a total of 67,100 Points.

A break in the journey for a purely Australian domestic itinerary (for example Perth to Cairns via Brisbane) occurs when onward travel does not take place on the same calendar day. For all other itineraries, including those containing a domestic to international connecting flight, a break occurs when a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is not scheduled to depart within 24 hours of arrival.

A Reward Seat is also calculated on a per sector basis when there is a change in class of travel within the journey or when combining a journey that includes airlines located in different Reward Seat Points tables.

The quoted Points redemption is intended as an example only and is correct as at [date]. Redemption levels are subject to change at the discretion of Velocity Frequent Flyer.
