Virgin Australia is giving travellers the perfect reason to book a spontaneous getaway, launching a fresh flight sale to Melbourne with one-way Economy Lite fares starting from just $65. For Adelaideans, that means a quick hop across the border for as little as $99, ideal for a weekend escape or an impromptu catch-up with friends.
The sale, which kicked off at 12:01am on Monday 11 August 2025, runs until 11:59pm on Sunday 17 August 2025, and covers travel dates between 14 October 2025 and 25 June 2026. As an added incentive for night owls, Virgin is offering up to 5% off last flights of the day departing after 8pm local time when you use the promo code LFC05 at the time of booking.
This new deal is part of Virgin Australia’s broader push to help passengers make the most of every available hour of the day. The concept was brought to life last week with the airline’s ‘Last Flight Club,’ a unique event that flew passengers to Melbourne for a whirlwind night of cultural experiences, live entertainment, and late-night dining before returning home the next morning.
Fares booked during the sale will also allow Velocity Frequent Flyer members to earn points and status credits, helping them move up the ranks faster. For those seeking a little more in-flight indulgence, Economy X seats – offering extra legroom – are available from just $39.
With competitive pricing from cities including Hobart, Gold Coast, Sydney, and Adelaide, this limited-time sale is expected to attract travellers keen to enjoy Melbourne’s buzzing nightlife, iconic dining scene, and world-class events, all without breaking the bank.
So whether you’re chasing laneway cocktails, a night at the theatre, or an impromptu footy final, these fares are your ticket to make it happen, and still be home in time for work on Monday.
