I want to redeem my Points for a Virgin Australia flight, what options do I have?

There are three ways to redeem Points for flights with Virgin Australia including

1.      Reward Seats
2.      Any Seats
3.      Points + Pay

Reward Seats: The best value redemption. You can redeem your Points for flights across the Virgin Australia network starting at 6,200 Points. With a low Points price and award-winning availability, Reward Seats offer the best value for your Velocity Points and the number of Points you need for any particular route never changes.

Any Seat: If you can’t find a Reward Seat on a specific flight, then book an Any Seat. If a flight is available for sale and can be booked on the Virgin Australia website, you can use your Points for payment. Our Any Seat allows you to use you Points to secure a Virgin Australia Getaway, Elevate, Freedom, Business or Business Saver fare. An Any Seat requires more of your Velocity Points than a Reward Seat, and the number of Points required will vary, just as the price of flights varies when paying with dollars.

As you’re booking a Virgin Australia fare, an Any Seat is eligible to earn Velocity Points, Status Credits, Tier bonus Points and Eligible Sectors.

Points + Pay: Looking to save some money off your next holiday? Reduce the price of your flight by using Velocity Points. Every 2,500 Points you redeem with ‘Points + Pay’ allows you to reduce your fare by $15 1.You can redeem a minimum of 2,500 Points per person, per flight sector. If you’re booking a return flight, or a journey with 2 flight sectors you can redeem a minimum of 5,000 Points. Use the combination of Points and cash that suits your needs by moving our Points payment slider on check out. Bookings can be made online at virginaustralia.com or via our Membership Contact Centre.

As you’re booking a Virgin Australia fare, a ‘Points + Pay’ booking is eligible to earn Velocity Points, Status Credits, Tier bonus Points and Eligible Sectors.
