Virgin Australia is as much about the Friday flight to Melbourne as it is escaping to Bali. Its network reaches across Australia — from the big east-coast routes to Cairns, the Gold Coast, Tasmania, Darwin, Broome and the Whitsundays — then heads offshore to favourites including Bali, Fiji, Queenstown and Vanuatu.
International travel stretches further through Virgin Australia's airline partnerships. Its Doha services connect Australian travellers into Qatar Airways' extensive global network, while partnerships with airlines including Singapore Airlines, United Airlines and Air New Zealand add more options for travelling further afield. For Velocity members, eligible flights across Virgin Australia and participating partners can also keep earning Points and, depending on the fare and airline, Status Credits.
