Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to book a domestic Air NZ flight using Virgin Velocity points? The Air NZ website talks all about how they codeshare and you can use Velocity to book but I am unsure how to.

Thanks

Probably be easier to use Virgin site to search for flights, find ones that have the notation that it's operated on behalf by ANZ (which means using their planes/staff) and book em instead :)

But not sure their codeshare actually extends to the normal national network since they no longer service NZ in capacity, other than when booking to small regional destinations FROM australia where the only option to complete the leg of the trip is with Eagle Air, Air Nelson or Mt Cook Airlines (ANZ)

/edit dur virgin.. not JST

Actually, I just went to virgins site. Chose both AKL and CHC as my origin, clicked the tick box top right of the box which shows destinations for velocity rewards. It then lets NZ destinations be selected. Of which CHC/AKL respective were the only ones available.
