  • I tried international in October and the prices are no different to yesterday. Is there a way to see if the code has been applied?

    • Same.

      • I even tried domestic (SYD-PER /July 10th),same no different to yesterday's price.

        Sorry my bad ,travel date ends June.

      It usually has a little $ logo and says Sale if it is affected by a promotion.
      You can run the search without the promo code to confirm.

    • +4

      the email says "You will know you have secured a great deal when the promotion tag is applied next to your fare."

      it's not the most noticeable indicator but there is a small $ sign on the price

      alternatively, try this link to have the code set and the date ranges defined

      • tried a weekend trip end of may but didn't look like it applied the code or that i could see it discounted..

        • there may be no more seats being sold for this discounted fare for the flight(s) that you're looking at.

        • @shakoo: understandable - wish however they would put more sale seats on, went with jetstar for $180 syd to melb weekend, don't think I've ever seen Virgin have it that low but then again, virgin is also better quality than the other airlines

  • So is this everyone?
    All does staff need to book for "friends"?

  • +1

    Damn, I was going to post this but was hesitant as it is a Staff deal, and last time I (unknowingly) posted a family and friends staff deal it was taken down.

    • was gonna post it yesterday but held off as well 'cos i wasn't sure if it was allowed

      • +1

        Of course it isn't allowed..

          We're all friends of Richard Branson. BPW46 for all!

  • The route you have selected can only be booked using Velocity Points or Velocity Points + Pay with Velocity’s airline partners.
    Please select Points+Pay to book this route.

    Doesn't work for Sydney to Ballina for June 22nd.

  • I love how the promo code box is in that red colour like the rest of their website, so it can easily be missed.

    I got excited about a flight to Brisbane for 3 for $134 until I continued to click through and it then said that is the per person cost. Why the flip can't they just show the total price on the first bloody screen! >:(

    • +1

      Because it's easier to compare prices when they show the per person? And because most people realise prices are shown as per person?

      • Compared to what? Plus, I don't want to be most people! :p

        • You know nothing JonShannow. Oh and welcome back :)

  • Anyone able to get past the booking stage? Getting a "temp error"

  • +3

    A couple of the international examples from Sydney include:
    Nadi $245
    Apia $339
    Tonga $279
    Bali $289
    LA $895 return

    • Any interesting ones to Europe? Cant find a shit :(

      • +14

        Check the other cubicles 💩

  • Worked for me, booked flight for early June, Perth-Melb

  • Tested from Bris - Melb from $139 down to $99. Bris - Perth from $249 to $159

  • Thanks buddy, just in time for a short holiday.

    Melb to Sydney - $69
    Sydney to Melb - $69

    Cheaper than the current Tigerair and Jetstar offers.

    • what dates did you put in?

    • 26th May and 31st May

  • Shame it doesn't reduce the amount of points required for redemption.

  • Doesn't work no more :(

    • +1

      Works for me.

      • Still working. Check your dates.

        • Thanks it works. I had a space at the start of the code. Cheers.

  • Phooey, I booked Virgin flight earlier in the day.

  • Thanks heaps - saved me $72 on flights I was going to book anyway!

  • Damn!! Anyone know any good deals Mel-Syd return for July-August?? I have to travel then, and this deal is over then SIGH!

  • Hm doesn't seem to be available on any flights from Darwin. Or at least sound dates I need in June for either Brisbane or Sydney. But disappointing :(

  • +1

    Code still working but discounts are disappearing as more seats get booked.
    The discount only seems to apply on low sold flights.
    e.g yesterday on one flight ADL-SYD regular price was $165 with code $99. Today same flight regular is $179 with code $165.
    So return flights yesterday were $198 today are $330……he who hesitates
