Virgin Australia continues to reposition itself as a ‘mid-market’ airline with today’s announcement that it has slashed its regular ‘non-sale’ business class fares by up to 60 per cent.
Virgin Australia one-way business class fares are now available from as low as $299. These fares continue to include all the ‘bells and whistles’ travellers expect, including:
- lounge access (in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra and Perth)
- priority check-in and boarding
- higher checked baggage allowances
- plated meals and beverages including beer, wine and spirits
- priority baggage delivery
- higher Velocity Points and Status Credits earn, and more.
Virgin operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet with two rows of business class seats at the front in a 2-2 layout.
Here are the new one-way base rates across the country:
- Melbourne <> Sydney $299
