Dreaming of warmer pastures? Virgin Australia is launching a week-long, network-wide sale with lead-in fares starting from $49. All tickets include Velocity Points and Status Credits, though you may want to pay more for a Choice fare, which also bundles in luggage and more.
With sale fares starting from just $49, coupled with tax return season, Aussies can book their next holiday without breaking the bank.

Bargain!
$799 one way Brisbane to Sydney no “meal” but a box of food with cornflaks and nuts, muffin.
“due to CoviD” i call BS Qantas are doing it well still
Also, VA’s business class fares on the SYD-BNE route currently start from $449 when on sale, and are $599-$799 when sale fares are gone. Qantas is at least $900 on any given day, so there’s that difference to take into account too, when looking at inclusions.
So good to have VA back.
The drinks were great (juice or water) but the snack was some vegan protein ball thing unfortunately (massive fat grams and not a particularly good taste for all those calories).
Pity that the 1% have to ruin snacks for the 99% – whatever happened to a bag of chips or nuts?
Regardless, it was a pleasure to see the smiling hosties and fly on the mostly politically incorrect skies 🙂
And the service up the front, even without much food / drink, is awesome – much better than QF.
