Virgin Sale

The prices of this new sale from Virgin seem pretty good. I booked Syd-Per nonstop in business for $795 at Christmas using the promo code. Is that a deal, or do they offer this sort of pricing on a regular basis?

I think that’s their standard fare for purchase more than 21 days in advance (or whatever the advance period is).

I’d say the sale prices is about all the product is worth. Nothing wrong with that, it’s probably a product that satisfies most people for the price paid.

Agree. VA matched Rex’s ‘business’ fares outside of sale periods. They tried to put them up after Rex left the market but they’ve actually come down. MEL-SYD was $349, went up to 359, 369 and then 379. But back down to $349 now (outside sale times).

Shows the power of a proper FF program - with benefits - that qantas has with OW.

I found the prices pretty appealing compared to Qantas, especially since I always seem to get the B737 anyway.

What promo code did you apply?

I used MTL68 which amazingly worked and gave me an additional 10% off. Actually the code was working on my laptop at first, but then when I went to book, it didn't. I then tried my phone and it went through.
