Virgin Australia is currently giving away triple Velocity points on all flights booked by Monday, 26 March. To make the deal even better, many Virgin Australia routes are currently on sale with up to 30% off some flights. The sale includes both Economy and Business class seats to many destinations.

To earn triple Velocity points, you’ll first need to register for the promotion on the Velocity Frequent Flyer website. Triple Velocity points will be earned on all new flights booked by 26 March for travel any time until 12 February 2019. Only flights that are operated and marketed by Virgin Australia (i.e. Virgin flights with a “VA” flight number) are eligible. The bonus Velocity points will be applied to the base earn rate and will be credited up to 4 weeks after taking the flight.

The deal is even sweeter if you can pick up triple Velocity points on a good sale airfare. Virgin flights are currently up to 30% off on many routes. Some example of current domestic Economy sale fares include Brisbane-Sydney for $95, Perth-Brisbane for $179, Melbourne-Newcastle for $89 and Canberra-Hamilton Island for $199.

Both Economy and Business sale fares are also available to Bali and the Pacific Islands. And Economy sale fares cover destinations across New Zealand, Hong Kong and Los Angeles. For example, direct flights from Sydney or Melbourne to Hong Kong now cost just $569 return and earn more than 13,000 Velocity points thanks to the current promo.

See the Virgin Australia website for a full list of sale fares.

One of the best deals we found is on Virgin Business class airfares to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Business class sale fares from Sydney to Rarotonga, flying via Melbourne and Auckland, are currently available for $1,599 return. These flights would earn 47,736 Velocity points with the current triple Velocity points offer. The trip would also pick up a very handy 400 status credits – enough to requalify for Gold Velocity status for a year!
