Pride Flight 2025

Pride Flight 2025 is set to debut one of the world’s first discotheque events at 38,000 feet. Dubbed the Sky-High Disco, services will depart from Brisbane and Melbourne to Sydney on Friday, 28 February 2025, ahead of Australia's largest LGBTQ+ celebration.

The Experience
Departure Party

Start your journey with a Departure Party, where the gate lounge becomes a day club, the drinks^^ are on us, and the disco tunes are turned up.

In-flight

Once at cruising altitude, the discotheque comes alive sky-high with DJ beats and dancing down the aisle. Complimentary drinks^^, snacks, entertainment, and dancing are all included in your fare.

Landing Party

After you touch down in Sydney, the party continues at the official Landing Party at The Beresford that’ll keep the vibes going well into the night.

Recovery

And when you’re ready to recover? Join us at the official Pride Flight Recovery Brunch hosted by Ovolo Woolloomooloo—because even the best nights out deserve a stylish touchdown. Tickets to the Recovery Brunch must be booked separately via the link below.

The Dress Code

We're expecting levelled-up looks that bring the disco-era into 2025 through bold sequins and colours, nods to classics, and modern touches. Think elevated, not exaggerated.

Recovery and Stays

Ovolo Woolloomooloo will host the third-annual Ovolo x Virgin Australia Pride Flight Recovery Brunch at Bar Woolloomooloo on Saturday, 1 March 2025, because even the best nights out deserve a stylish touchdown.

    Decent marketing strategy

  • Unlimited drinks? Ozbargain meet up?

    • lol

      Complimentary drinks available while stocks last.

        They haven't yet found an easy way to refill stock levels on a metal tube flying through the air at 38,000 feet ;)

        • I was indeed thinking about it but there still possibly has to be a limit to how much alcohol they could possibly carry, regulations wise and/or just cargo allowance in general. Why take the risk of advertising unlimited alcohol, no way the legal team would have allowed that lol.

            @Gervais fanboy: Yep, true.

            All airlines need to follow the RSA, so you can't get smashed and you can only have 1 drink at a time, on any flight.
            A short flight also, so it should be relatively easy to manage.
            Also, I am sure not everyone will be drinking.

              How else are they planning to get their money’s worth?
              Classic NonOzbargainer behaviour.

    • It doesn't like deal actually.

        I think you're missing a word here bud

    Can two people fit the plane toilet? Asking for a friend.

    • Can squeez 2 in 1, answered by a friend.

      • Can my friend sit while the other is standing?

        • +1

          Fixing holes on the door would be expensive in flight.

  • +1

    Not sure how well "dancing down the aisle" will play out.

  • +2

    Seems expensive. Non pride flight for the same date Mel-Syd is $179 with Qantas and $119 with Virgin Australia. So they're charging $150 for the drinks, snacks and entertainment when compared with Virgin normal flights.

    To each their own, but I wouldn't be dancing on a flight due to potential turbulence.

      I think you might be missing the point of comparing it to a regular flight.
      If you want a regular flight, grab one, problem solved ;)

    • +5

      lol do you also compare prices of a party bus vs public transport when you want to go somewhere?

      I think you're paying for the experience more than anything.

    How is this a bargain…

    I still prefer this to another swifty flight. it was 90mins of hell..

  • lol

  • +1

    I feel like in any other circumstances, a flight which is advertising getting drunk and jumping around would fail air safety regulations.

    • +2

      It's not advertising "getting drunk" those are your words. Pretty hard to do that on a packed short flight from MEL - SYD.
      All air safety protocols and RSA rules need to be followed, which should not need to be pointed out.

      • “gate lounge becomes a day club, the drinks^^”
        “dancing down the aisle. Complimentary drinks^^, snacks, entertainment, and dancing”

        Read the advert again - drinks before flight, drinks during flight. Even if it’s one drink before and one during, you are over the 0.5 threshold, which is the legal definition of intoxicated.

        • +1

          Err… no.

          Doesn't it rather depend on what you are drinking?

          When did being 0.05 become illegal on a flight?

        • What are you banging on about? For a start, you are referring to blood alcohol content, which for driving, the limit is 0.05 (not 0.5 as you mentioned) and this has nothing to do with being a passenger on a flight, at a bar or anything else.
          In other countries the limit of BAC for driving can be 0.00, 0.02 or 0.08, it's purely an indicator for driving laws, which has zero to do with being a passenger on a flight lol

  • +10

    I’m gay and could think of nothing worst then being stuck 30,000 ft in the air in a metal tube with hundreds of other drunk gays dancing down the aisle.

    Sounds like a complete nightmare.

  • +1

    Feel sorry for the passengers on the next flight after this, given the regular rubbish I find on seats and in seat pockets on a non party flight..

  • +5

    ill wait for the pride flight deal to the middle east

    Is it byo pills?
