Virgin's Next Big Sale Is All About Return Flights to a Heap of Holiday-Worthy Island Destinations

Public holidays are wonderful, with Australia currently experiencing its usual autumn run of them — and loving it. The one big side effect: they always get everyone thinking about enjoying more than just a day or two off work. Yes, you're likely now in holiday-planning mode, and Virgin's latest sale wants to help.

Forget staying local, or even just heading somewhere around the country. This batch of discounted fares is all about island getaways overseas. Bali, Fiji, Samoa and Vanuatu, here you come — because they're the spots that the airline is slinging cheap return flights to right now.

The love islands flight sale runs until 11.59pm AEST on Monday, April 24 — unless sold out earlier. And while prices start at $429, that'll get you there and back. In that specific instance, that's how much it costs for Gold Coast–Bali airfares.

Other specials include Adelaide to Bali from $489, Brisbane to Fiji from $489 and Melbourne to Samoa from $729, as well as Sydney to Fiji from $469 and Perth to Vanuatu from $909 — all with economy lite fares.

If you're wondering when you'll need to travel, it depends according to route, but the sale is largely clustered around October–December 2023 and January–March 2024. To some destinations, you can go in May and June 2023 (and avoid the start of Australia's winter, too).

As usual when it comes to flight sales, you'll need to get in quick if you're keen to stack your next year or so with island trips.
