Fares from $55 for two hours only on Virgin Australia

Ready, Set, Go! Pack your bag, buy one of these incredible deals and get ready for your next holiday, with Virgin Australia releasing half-price flights in a two-hour flash sale, going live this evening.

Off the back of the federal government half-price aviation announcement yesterday, Virgin Australia has upped the flight game by launching a half-price flash sale, with economy fares on sale from 5pm to 7pm AEDT (or until sold out) today Friday 12 March, for travel in the next two weeks and are subject to sale.

But rather than limited routes, Virgin Australia has half-priced seats for sale on all its routes.

Fare examples are:

• Sydney-Byron Bay/Byron Bay-Sydney from $55
• Sydney-Gold Coast/Gold Coast-Sydney from $55
• Melbourne-Launceston/Launceston-Melbourne from $64
• Brisbane-Whitsunday Coast/Whitsunday Coast-Brisbane from $78
• Melbourne-Gold Coast/Gold Coast-Melbourne from $88
• Perth to Broome $146
• Melbourne to Perth $165

The fares include baggage, seat selection, and Velocity Frequent Flyer points, and status credits.

A Virgin Australia Group spokesperson said “we’ve been inundated with guests wanting to book the Federal Government’s half-price fares, so we’re giving our customers a taste of what’s to come, with half-price, one-way economy fares on sale from 5-7pm today or until sold out.

“It’s important that we continue to play our part to get Australians travelling so that we can bring more of our people back to work and reboot the tourism economy and our half-price airfare sale is a testament of that.

“There has literally never been a better time to fly and guests will be able to book fares today to popular Australian destinations such as Byron Bay and the Gold Coast for no more than a taxi fare.”

Have a great holiday!
