Virgin Australia reveals half-priced flight routes ahead of midnight launch

Virgin Australia has revealed the routes it will be flying ahead of the Federal Government’s $1.2 billion support package. The airline will be releasing around 260,000 half-priced economy seats on sale.

The seats will be discounted by 50 per cent off Virgin Australia’s February lead-in price of tickets across an initial twenty-four-week period between 1 April – 31 July 2021, for travel from mid-April to 30 September 2021.

Virgin Australia Group CEO Jayne Hrdlicka said that despite the current border challenges, the news of half-priced airfares will give regions a sense of hope and deliver a much-needed boost for thousands of tourism businesses who are still doing it tough.

“While there are short-term constraints around travelling to some destinations at the moment, the good news is that our half price tickets can be used for travel up to the end of September. To ensure maximum flexibility under the program, we’re also extending our flexible flying policy for all half-priced fare bookings. This is designed to ensure everyone can book with confidence knowing they’ll definitely be able to make use of these great value tickets,” said Ms Hrdlicka.

“With the vaccine rollout underway, these half-priced fares will support jobs and the nation’s economic recovery over the next six months. There’s never been a better time to plan and get on with travelling around Australia.”

    As usual all school holiday dates were blacked out and excluded from the deal, so much for encouraging families to go away on holidays
