“The much-anticipated Velocity double Status Credits offer will help the loyalty program’s almost 12-million members climb the status ranks faster,” a Virgin Australia spokesperson said.

“Flying with Gold or Platinum Status comes with a range of perks, including Lounge access, priority boarding, seat selection and higher checked baggage allowances.”

Meanwhile, other discounted routes in the sale include Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast from $125, Brisbane to Townsville from $166 and Adelaide to Perth from $200.

Those who purchase discounted flights will need to travel between January 2024 and June 2024.

It’s the second biggest sale in a week for the airline after it dropped prices to international destinations such as New Zealand to $425 from Melbourne — and flights to Bali reduced to $449 from both Adelaide and the Gold Coast.

The sale ended on Tuesday, just a day after it announced its new three-day sale.
