Why pay full price for your next Virgin flight? Virgin Australia regularly releases promo codes that you can use to save money on airfares! These discount codes could save you up to 15% on flights operated by Virgin Australia.
There are a few restrictions that apply when using Virgin promo codes. These include:
- Virgin Australia discount codes may only be valid on certain routes, travel dates and fare categories
- Some sale and early-bird fares are ineligible for further discounting with promo codes
- You would need to book at least 21 days in advance when using most Virgin Australia promo codes, and
- The discount generally only applies to the base fare, not taxes.
The codes in the list below should work for any flight operated by Virgin Australia. If booking an Economy Lite or Economy Choice fare less than 21 days in advance, you may get a better price by using the last code. But if booking more than three weeks before departure, another code might give you a better discount.

How to redeem Virgin Australia discount codes
To save money on your next flight, simply enter the 5-digit code into the “Promo code” box when searching for flights on the Virgin Australia website. You’ll be able to insert the promo code after selecting your route and travel dates.
The discount will be automatically applied to eligible fares, which are marked as “Special fare” with a coupon icon.
Virgin Australia promo codes will not generally work on codeshare flights operated by partner airlines. So, you won’t be able to use one of these codes to get to somewhere that Virgin Australia does not fly to using its own aircraft.
You also cannot use a promo code to get a discount off a flight paid for using a Future Flight credit. The Virgin Australia website won’t give the option to insert a discount code if you select the “Travel Bank” payment option.
What if there is no working promo code for my flights?
If you’re booking a Virgin Australia flight and there is no working discount code for your route/dates, or none of the above codes work, you can still earn cashback by booking via Cashrewards.
If you have an American Express credit card, you might also be able to access a lower price on selected Virgin Australia flights by booking through the Amex Travel portal.
