“Australians are looking to drive their dollar further in the current environment and this sale is giving them hundreds of thousands of great-value opportunities to travel to their favourite holiday spots next year,” Mr Emerson said.

“With every single Virgin Australia route now on sale, popular destinations can be booked for less than the cost of a taxi ride, so we are encouraging travellers to get in fast as these incredible fares will not last long.”

But it’s not just domestic airfares that are on sale — those looking to head overseas to places such as New Zealand, Bali, Fiji, Samoa and Japan can also expect heavily reduced tickets on Economy Lite fares.

Those keen to explore Queenstown, the adrenaline capital of New Zealand, can do so from $425 return from Melbourne or $445 return from Sydney.

Flights to Bali have also been reduced to $449 from both Adelaide and the Gold Coast.

Meanwhile, flights to Fiji and Vanuatu from Brisbane will cost from $509 and $569 respectively, while flights to Cairns to Haneda (Tokyo) are now from $699.

Virgin Australia sale fares include Velocity Frequent Flyer Points and Status Credits.
