The holidays may be over, but your emotional readiness to rejoin the real world doesn’t have to be. Virgin Australia is stepping in with the most relatable sale of the year: the “I’m Not Emotionally Ready to Go Back to Work” Sale. Because if your inbox can wait, why shouldn’t you be sipping something cold, staring at a horizon that definitely isn’t your office wall?
During the sale, Virgin is offering one million sale fares from just $49!
Most of the fares on offer are Economy Lite fares, which include your seat and carry-on only. However, there are a few Choice fares on offer, which include a luggage allowance if you can’t travel with just carry-on.
