About the Airline
Virgin Australia: Virgin Australia is a major Australian airline offering competitive fares across domestic and international routes.
Virgin Australia Economy X Flash Sale
Virgin Australia has dropped the price of an Economy X upgrade to just $8 per person, per sector in a two-week flash sale - a 30% saving on the usual $12 price. That’s $8 each way for up to 40% more legroom on dozens of domestic routes.
Economy X seats sit in the exit rows and towards the front of the cabin. As well as the extra legroom, the upgrade includes priority check-in, priority boarding and reserved overhead locker space next to your seat (where available at your airport).
The $8 price must be added through virginaustralia.com or the Guest Contact Centre, and seats are subject to availability. The upgrade is valid on eligible flights departing at least 7 days in advance.
Sale ends 11:59pm AEST on 9 July 2026.
