Virgin.MatesRatesSale

Airline launches a “Mates Rates” sale for travellers in groups of 2 to 9 people.

Sorry, this sale is no longer running. Check our list of current flight sales to find a bargain!

Virgin Australia has launched a new sale where people travelling of groups of 2 to 9 people can save up to 50% on airfares.

Flights in the Mates Rates sale start at just $49 per person. This fare is available on flights between Sydney and Tamworth.

Other notable discounts include Adelaide-Melbourne for $64 per person, Sydney-Sunshine Coast for $64 per person and Brisbane-Cairns for $69 per person.

If you’re booking a flight for one person, these routes would cost $85 for Sydney-Tamworth, $119 for Sydney-Sunshine Coast, $119 for Adelaide-Melbourne and $129 for Brisbane-Cairns.

Prices this low are more often seen from budget carrier like Jetstar, which don’t include perks like checked baggage, in-flight meals, drinks and entertainment. Virgin includes them in their base fares.

Based on the cheapest route that’s offered by all three airlines, Adelaide-Melbourne, Virgin’s $64 fare comes in far ahead of Jetstar.

Most flights are available during peak summer from 1 February until 28 February, with some restrictions. (See full availability on the table below.)

Virgin Australia’s Mates Rates sale runs until 11:59pm AEDT on 30 November.
