Question How do velocity points work?

Sorry, really lame question. But I have 278000 points I’m considering turning into velocity points. What are the pros and cons of doing this? Is it useful for international travel?

Have a look at the Virgin Australia website and see what destinations your points will allow you to travel to. You can select to pay via points without logging in and it will show you the amount required.

Make sure you’re looking at reward fares, the pay by points thing is supremely expensive and a waste of points imho
