How good are these Virgin Happy Hour sale fares?

Virgin has delivered once again with low fares we've come to expect each Thursday.

On the Melbourne–Hobart route for the July period, we found cheaper Jetstar fares (as compared on Skyscanner) from $41 one way. That saves you 40%.

However, if you want to add 20kg checked baggage you have to pay $26. Virgin has seat selection, 23kg of checked baggage and entertainment included in your airfare.

The Virgin Happy Hour sale ends 11pm AEST tonight (27 May), unless sold out prior.

These fares at a glance

  • Great flexibility: Virgin Australia's Passenger Promise offers you free, unlimited date changes for travel up until 31 January 2022.
  • Good airline: Checked luggage, seat selection and in-flight entertainment are included. Food and drinks cost extra.
  • Good frequent flyer points: Earn 5 points for every $1 spent as a Velocity member. Earn from 345 points on the cheapest one-way leg of this Virgin Happy Hour sale.
  • Great travel time: Happy days with direct flights.
  • Good weather: While December to March is the best time to visit Tasmania, there's plenty to do in winter. From hiking a snow-covered Overland Track, skiing at Ben Lomond or joining the festivities at Dark Mofo, the list is nearly endless.
