Your benefits before your travel

From upgrades, seat selection and priority service the benefits of being a Silver Status member start before you even get to the airport.

  •  Select your seat at the time of booking or at check in. You can also select your seat after you have made a booking by calling Virgin Australia’s Guest Contact Centre

     Advanced seat selection is available for purchase when travelling on Economy Lite fares up until 3 hours before the flight’s scheduled departure.

    *Complimentary advanced seat selection is only available for Silver members travelling on an Economy Lite fare when checking in within 3 hours of the flight’s scheduled departure time.
