Virgin launches 24-hour Halloween sale with scarily low prices

No trick – Virgin Airlines is serving up Halloween treats in the form of sweet deals.

Set your timers! This Halloween, Virgin Australia will slash over 500,000 fares, with prices starting at $45. The sale will be live for one day only, from midnight to midnight AEDT on All Hallows’ Eve (Thursday 31 October). The discounted fares will apply to select travel dates between 15 January and 31 May next year. It’s the perfect time to take a getaway and extend your summer, whether that means chasing waterfalls in the NT’s Top End or sipping bubbly in a Tassie Vineyard.

The stand-out fare is a $45 deal between Sydney and Byron Bay, two of NSW’s ultimate summer destinations. We’ve put together a 60-second flash-guide to having the perfect summer in Sydney, as well as a round-up of Byron Bay’s prettiest waterfalls to get your summer wanderlust simmering.

The sale also includes fares between Melbourne and Launceston for $65, offering the perfect chance to hop between Australia’s capital of cool and Tassie’s UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.
