Bali and Fiji fares run to 17 November. That gives you time to compare dates, and the sale terms say travel periods and conditions apply and that fares are subject to availability.
The Europe early bird sale closes at 11:59pm AEST on 30 October 2026. Virgin listed sale destinations including Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Paris, Dublin, Rome, London (Heathrow) and Manchester, flown by Qatar Airways from Australia via Doha, with blackout periods applying. Watch the Specials page for the next Europe sale.
Regional fares are for Velocity members. You need to live in an eligible postcode and have your address up to date in your Velocity account to see the fare, and Virgin says new members or address changes can take up to 48 hours to show in its eligibility check.
Happy Hour sales come by V-mail. Virgin's menu has a Happy Hour page, and its Specials page says V-mail Sales Alerts cover flight specials, Happy Hour and partner promotions. We did not see a Happy Hour sale listed on the Specials page on 30 October.
Once you have picked your fare, open the ShopBack Virgin Australia page in the ShopBack app or website and tap through to Virgin Australia before you pay. The live Cashback shown on that page applies to the booking you finish there.
Virgin Australia Black Friday 2026
- Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November 2026. On 30 October, Virgin Australia's Specials page did not list a Black Friday sale; it lists each live sale with its own sale window.
- Check the Specials page and your V-mail Sales Alerts in the week of 23 November if you want to see whether a Black Friday fare appears, and compare it with the Bali and Fiji fares already on sale.
- Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns, so start from the ShopBack Virgin Australia page before you pay.
Velocity and V-mail: how to hear about Virgin Australia sales first
Virgin Australia's Specials page says Velocity Frequent Flyer is free and fast to join, and V-mail Sales Alerts are free too. Velocity is the programme that unlocks the regional resident fares above. Our guide to Virgin Australia's membership and rewards programme explains how it works, and the V-mail Sales Alerts above are the quickest way to hear about a new sale.
Fare types: what the Virgin Australia sale terms say
The cheapest headline fare is not always the cheapest trip, so read the fare type under each sale. According to the terms on Virgin's Specials page, seat selection and checked baggage are not included in Economy Lite fares, and cancellations are not permitted on Lite. Economy Choice fares can be changed or cancelled to travel credit by paying a fee and any fare difference, and Economy Flex fares can be refunded for a fee. If you need a bag or might change plans, compare Lite plus a bag with Choice before you book, and see our guide to what a Virgin Australia economy fare includes.
How to get a Virgin Australia deal and ShopBack Cashback on the same flight
Pick the sale fare on Virgin Australia's website, but open the ShopBack Virgin Australia page before you pay.

- Tap through to Virgin Australia.
- Choose your sale fare and book on the Virgin Australia website.
- The booking tracks to your ShopBack account, and you can check its status in the app.
Your card's own points can still apply. You can usually earn your card's rewards on the same booking, under your card's terms. For the hotel at the other end, the same step works on Booking.com and Agoda, and the ShopBack Travel page lists more travel merchants.
