Overview
When the middle of any and every year approaches, we all yearn for a holiday. Summer feels forever ago, for starters. Months of life's chaos always spark getaway cravings. A change of scenery starts calling, too. With May more than halfway through and winter almost upon us for 2024, cue the ideal timing for Virgin's midyear sale on international flights.
Return fares are a focus in this excuse to pack your suitcase — so whether you're keen on a trip to Tokyo, Bali, Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu or Queenstown, you'll get discounts on the legs both there and back. And while the sale includes fares from Saturday, June 1, 2024, you can plan a trip as far away as autumn 2025, with Friday, April 11, 2025 the last date covered.
Return flights start at $315, which'll get you from Melbourne to Queenstown and back. Sydneysiders will pay $365 and Brisbanites $425. If Fiji awaits you, return fares begin at $449 from Sydney. Bali flights start at $499 from the Gold Coast, while Vanuatu flights kick off at $579 and Samoa trips from $599, both out of Brisbane. And Tokyo fares come in at $675 to begin, which is out of Cairns.
If you're only looking to make the trip to Queenstown without heading back, that's the only destination where you can choose between a one-way and a return option.
The sale prices are for economy light fares — and, as usual when it comes to flight sales, you'll need to get in quick. Virgin's discounted fares are now on offer until midnight on Friday, May 24 or sold out, whichever arrives first.
Some legs do have the pick of a choice fare as well, at a more expensive — but still on sale — price.
Virgin's 2024 midyear international sale runs until midnight AEST on Friday, May 24 — or until sold out.
