Virgin Australia restarts domestic flight redemptions using Velocity Points

Virgin Australia is once again allowing Velocity Points holders to use their points for domestic flights. As of today, travellers can book seats from 1 September 2020 on some of the carrier’s “most popular” routes (see below).

Since there is still a lot of uncertainty about travel restrictions, Virgin is providing extra flexibility by waiving cancellation and change fees for reward bookings until 1 September. That means you can get a full refund of points and money paid if you (or Virgin Australia) cancel the booking for any reason before 1 September.

By then, Virgin should have new owners and its future will be clearer. Nevertheless, any bookings made right now should be viewed as purely speculative.

Other Velocity Points uses, like transfers to KrisFlyer and online store redemptions, remain frozen.

Virgin Australia also says it has implemented additional cleaning and hygiene measures including social seat distancing onboard.
