Frequently asked questions about Virgin Australia promo codes and sales

• When does Virgin Australia have sales?

  • Happy Hour Thursday: On Thursdays between 4pm and 11pm, Virgin Australia hosts a happy hour sales event of discounted flights.
  • #MatesRates: While there's no set date for a MatesRates sale, they occur often enough. Keep an eye out and ping your mates when you see a sale go out.
  • Book Early: Like #MatesRates, there's no regular schedule for Virgin's Book Early offers, but they're almost always available on the airline's website. You can score a great deal on a flight if you're able to book a few months in advance.

  While they're not regularly occurring or guaranteed to happen annually, Virgin Australia has been known to host sales during Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Boxing Day and more.

  You can keep on top of Virgin Australia's sales on this page or on Virgin Australia's On Sale page.

• Does Virgin Australia have promo codes?

  No. In the past Virgin Australia was known to shell out a discount code for 5-10% off flights every now and again. Since its administration the option to redeem a promo code has been removed from its site.

• How do I find the best Virgin Australia fares?

  We'll update you with the best of the best on this page as they come in. Otherwise you can find sale fares on Virgin's On Sale page or view the latest specials on its homepage.

• Does Virgin Australia price-match?

  No. Virgin doesn't price-match at the moment. In the past it had a Fare Promise, but this has since been removed from its site.

• How else can I save on my Virgin Australia flight?

  • Lite fares: In 2021, Virgin Australia introduced a new economy fare tier called Lite. Essentially it's a budget ticket which only includes your seat and carry-on luggage. It can save you from $20 a flight.
  • Join Velocity: Virgin's frequent flyer program Velocity is free to join and lets you earn points on flights as well as any purchases you make with its partners. Earn enough points and you could redeem them for free flights.

• Do I earn Velocity points for Virgin sale fares?

  Virgin Australia sale fares do earn points, but with a twist. For domestic, trans-Tasman and Pacific Virgin Australia flights, the number of Velocity Points you earn is based on the cost of the ticket. For every $1 you spend, you get 5 Velocity Points.

  So the cheaper the ticket, the fewer points you'll earn. That means that sale fares will earn points, but always at lower rates than regular fares.

  There's a second twist to be aware of. Silver, gold and platinum members score a points bonus on ticket purchases, increasing the number of Velocity Points they get.

  However, the bonus does not apply to domestic "Getaway" fares, and those are usually the ones included in a sale. So if you're in one of those tiers, your ticket will most likely only earn the regular 5 Velocity Points per $1 spent.

  For codeshare flights operated by Virgin Australia partners such as Etihad and Delta your points are based on the fare class and the distance travelled.
