When are these cheap flights available?
There’s quite a range depending on the route, with some routes available for a short window (like the Brisbane-Proserpine route, which is available late-October to mid-November).
Meanwhile, others are available pretty widely from April to December (like the Melbourne-Launceston route).
Whatâs included in the price?
All fares in this Virgin sale are “Lite”. That means you’ll just get the bare minimum the airline offers:
- Guarantee of a seat on the plane
- Up to 7kg of carry-on luggage
- In-flight entertainment (likely on your own device)
- Tea or coffee on board
Can I get any frequent flyer points?
Yes! If you’re a Velocity Frequent Flyer you can earn points on all Virgin flights, regardless of whether it’s on sale.
Overall, how good is this sale?
It’s pretty good for Virgin Australia, but not quite as hot as other ones we’ve seen lately. For the last few years, $49 was just about as low as Virgin Australia was willing to go. But, recently we’ve seen a few sales below the $40 threshold.
- Leap Year sale from $35: The Sydney-Ballina Byron route, which is $49 in this deal, was just $39 in the leap year sale
- 30% off Tasmania flights: A recent sale on flights to Tasmania had fares from $39 between Melbourne and Launceston
