Virgin ADL MEL Sun 27/10/24

[VPS]

Any idea why Virgin would have two flights 5 minutes apart

I don't know about this flight specifically but based on the prices, I'd say there's high demand

I just want to know which one will be cancelled

Probably neither

But VA224 is the extra flight that doesn't normally run.

I can't think of anything in Melbourne that would warrant this because it's not Melbourne cup or school holidays. I'll ask someone to check the loadings.

Thanks

Is there an event in Melbourne or something? I was looking at VA 284 CBR - MEL for the same date and it was sold out, which I thought was quite unusual this early …

It's COX Plate day Saturday with Hotel prices and fares to/from up there.

Maybe the Sunday flights are 'backfill' for PAX returning West.

Nothing that I could find and fares aren't ridiculously expensive
