STATEMENT FROM VIRGIN AUSTRALIA GROUP SPOKESPERSON:
“We’ve been inspired to look at new ways to push the envelope when it comes to stimulating the market and getting Australians back in the skies again,” they said.
“We were the first Australian airline to introduce COVID-19 booking flexibility, have put more than 2 million seats on sale in the last week, and rolled out an informative health and wellbeing series on our social media channels to assure travellers are comfortable when they next fly.
“Today, we’ve raised the bar even higher - matching some of the lowest airfares in the market - complete with checked-baggage, seat selection, double Velocity Points on eligible bookings and of course, our award-winning service.
“We’ve also extended our booking flexibility for travel until 31 January 2022 when customers book before 30 April 2021 to give travellers peace of mind that they can book now and easily change the date of their flight if they need to.”
