Now that NPX47 has finished, I have found BKL24 does the same job.
Enjoy!
I'm not too sure on the T&Cs, but the other one was for bookings 20 day in advance or more.

Friends and family can be included in the booking when the employee is also travelling. The employee must be listed as the primary contact and provide their work email address.
doesnt work for syd-lax in june
Read the TITLE!
When madmouse58 posted that comment, the title didn't say it was domestic. It said all flights…
Yeah, I posted it instead of previewing it. They did post when it said all flights, not just domestic.
Ripper!
not working for me
ahh wasnt quite 20 days in advance
I booked $600 worth of domestic flights with virgin one hour before this deal was posted :/
$950 here… :(
there is a happy hour sale going at the moment which ends in ~2hrs
travel dates from 27/01/2015 - 17/02/2015 with various locations
http://happyhour.virginaustralia.com/sale-on?cmpid=hh_ibe_se…
just be aware that the promo code does not stack with the happy hour sale
Just booked a flight to Melb last night. sigh….
Thanks so much. I declined to purchase my flight before the last code ended because I thought I'd get a better deal on the happy hour sale. Turns out my flight is not included in the sale. :(
Yeah, I've been watching a flight for 5 months and it hasn't budged. Stupid school holidays, this is the best I could do.
I read somewhere that airlines track your proxy and the fare won't budge while you keep checking it. My international flights didn't budge for months, I finally booked and checked an hour later and they were 500 cheaper.
I have an intimate knowledge of our booking/pricing systems and this definitely doesn't happen with the Virgin Australia website. I'm actually a little sceptical of it happening with other airlines too given how airline pricing/availability works in general.
Oh, balls. I just realised I can't use this code because of the 20 days thing. Bugger……..
Surprised this has so many upvotes. Virgin seems pretty expensive lately.
Probably because they're a full service airline
Disagree. Any airline that charges you for luggage, does not feed you on all flights and charges you for drinks on some flights is not a full service airline.
They may be repositioning themselves like Qantas-Jetstar with Virgin-Tiger but that transition has not occurred yet.
yes it's a bit like
Tiger<Jetstar<Virgin<Qantas
I no longer view Qantas as full service either charging for spirits and giving you crappy flavourless burritos.
Virgin always beats Qantas for me.
Don't forget to use the Virgin gift voucher offer in the Entertainment book to avoid paying the $7.70 per fight booking fee, and get another 5% off, too!
You don't pay the fee if you use POLI aka direct debit.
If you buy the vouchers, be aware that if you have a voucher which is partially used, the remainder must be paid on a debit/Credit card and you will be hit with a $7.70 fee - there is no part POLI usage.
You would need to plan ahead to buy the vouchers for the exact value - which is very difficult. Vouchers can take 2 days to be delivered to inbox.
Oh my gawd. So, using the vouchers is pretty much completely useless because you have to pay the fee anyway on top of that, unless you book vouchers in excess which is risky as you may not use the remaining balance.
That's the first and last time I'm bothering with vouchers. Dammit.
Send your feedback onto the entertainment book if you're concerned. They do listen to feedback
So can anyone confirm if you need to be an employee?
Friends and family can be included in the booking when the employee is also travelling. The employee must be listed as the primary contact and provide their work email address.
Yes I can read, but do they actually check it?
I have anecdotal evidence that suggests they may well do unfortunately.
It's easy for us to do a search of all bookings made using a particular promo code. The primary contact is supposed to be a work email address of the company/organisation that the code was provided to so if that didn't match it is possible that the booking could be flagged for not adhering to the terms and conditions. I don't know if anyone in the company is actively doing this but it wouldn't surprise me as someone from Virgin Australia often contacts OzBargain to request removal of these promo codes. Hence the reason why I don't post them myself anymore even though numerous similar codes can be easily found with a google search.
What would happen if hey don't match? Simply cancel the booking or make you pay back the 10%? Or rock up to the flight and tell you that you aren't flying?
@2jzzzz: I'm not sure as I don't have anything to do with that at work. Probably just withdraw the promo code from the original company but that's just a guess.
how is this a bargain? after 10% off still jetstar and tigerair is cheaper…
Walking is cheaper still
Not for the days I am looking at.
Virgin after 10% off: $150.
Tiger $189. Jet* $219. Qantas $275.
Its weird that VA are cheaper than the LCCs, however I know this isn't always the case.
We looked for a Melbourne to Launceston flight, and Qantas was cheaper than Jetstar.
Generally in $$$= Tiger>Jetstar>Virgin Australia>Qantas
Some food for thought.
You are right, that generally was the order in the last few years.
But with Tiger now owned by Virgin it seems they decided to stop competing with themselves. I knew it was bad news when the takeover happened, now it starts showing in flight prices.
In case you missed the news back in October: http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviation/virgin-pays-1-to-tak…
@team teri: Yeah I've seen for example, Adelaide - Melbourne TT $55 JQ $59 so they're going up.
Its just that most of TT's flights are at unfavorable times, especially for Adelaide flights.
so we need to be more cryptic with the threads then? otherwise these will be burnt fairly quickly or when you rock up to check in, you will not have a valid ticket, which, i suppose if they wanted to, then offer you a full priced ticket because you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
