How good are these Virgin fares?
Virgin's been pulling out all the stops with its recent sales (including its "Seek adveNTure" sale) and this one is no different. These are some of the cheapest fares we've seen to these destinations with a wide range of dates to boot. When looking at the international fares, you may be able to find some cheaper prices with the likes of budget airline Jetstar but it's certainly cheaper than rival Qantas.
This is all in the lead up to Black Friday where we're expecting Virgin to go even bigger.
Velocity members will be happy as well. Enjoy the bonus perk of earning double status credits on these fares as part of the Velocity bonus status credit offer.
