When Does Virgin Australia Have Sales?

Virgin Australia runs multiple flight sales throughout the year, although some periods are more reliable than others. Happy Hour sales are among the airline's most frequent promotions, typically launching every Thursday and featuring discounted fares on a limited selection of routes.

Larger Virgin Australia sales usually coincide with major shopping events such as Black Friday, Boxing Day and the End of Financial Year (EOFY). The airline also launches seasonal sales to encourage travel during quieter periods, along with occasional discounts on Economy X seat upgrades, Business Class fares and holiday packages.

If your travel dates are flexible, it's often worth waiting for a Virgin sale before booking. The biggest promotions often include millions of discounted fares across the network, while smaller flash sales may only run for a few days before selling out.

Are Virgin Sales Worth It?

Any time you can save money on flights is usually worthwhile! If you've been planning a trip, a Virgin Australia sale can be a good opportunity to lock in a lower fare before prices increase.

While Virgin Australia sales do include genuine discounts, many offers also recycle the same lead-in fares from previous campaigns. It's common to see Virgin flight sales feature identical starting prices across multiple promotions throughout the year.

Before booking, compare a few travel dates and check whether the advertised fare is competitive. Even if the price is similar to a previous sale, it can still be worth booking before fares return to their standard price. If you're travelling during school holidays or other busy periods, the cheapest sale fares can also sell out quickly.
