890

Virgin Australia have beaten the previous Qantas Family sale prices with these fares (at least one adult and one child). Travel from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide across a range of travel dates from July to November 2018.

This is a companion fare sale and only available to groups booking children's fares (ages two to eleven). For the example dates we have provided, we have entered two adults and two children, but you the same price per person is available as long as you have at least one child per adult (e.g. one adult and one child from Melbourne will still be $663pp). If you have more than one child per adult passenger, the per person price will drop even further! To change the number of passengers, click through to the dates you'd like to travel on and click the yellow 'Change Search' button at the upper right of the page to suit your family.

Flights from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are direct; flights from Adelaide and Perth involve brief layovers in Melbourne. Virgin Australia is a full-service carrier, so these fares include checked luggage and in-flight meals.

  • That’s excey with the kids. Perhaps kids can just stay with the grannys.

  • +4

    So is there no discount without a child? Does that mean my flight is going to be full of kids?

    Edit: Booking only adults returns a cost of approx $900 per person.

    • Hi - VA has dropped their adult fares to:
      Melbourne $889, Sydney $905, Brisbane $914, Perth $997, Adelaide $1006

      These fares by themselves are pretty good, but they have also made their child fares 50% of the adult fare (they are normally a bit more). I am guessing this is in response to the recent Qantas sale.

      • Hi @IWantThatFlight, are business class fares reduced or only economy?

  • +1

    Kids are always discounted so not quite as good as it appears.

    • +3

      You’re discounting the deal

      Virgin have always loved catering for unruly bogans and their screaming kids; face painting etc. No thanks.

      • Only bogans have kids? Only bogan kids like face painting?

        • +1

          Non-bogans use other carriers

        • @hardya:

          @tightwad:

          Work at an airport and can confirm lots of bogans fly Virgin.

  • Hi Iwantthatflight do you have any sale fares coming up for travel to hawaii in late july by any chance? Thanks

    • Hi,

      Unfortunately, the airlines don't give us any notice on sales. I'll try and post it here, but if I don't we always post them to iknowthepilot.com.au

      Jetstar usually have their birthday sale in May which includes Hawaii…i bought last year for $339 return from Melbourne.Not sure what the travel dates will be though.

      • Thanks for the info.

  • I just fly United. Economy is shit regardless of the carrier.

  • just got back from LA - paid AU$2,422.88 for 2 adults, 2 children Bris-LA return with Fiji Airways from this deal

    • That was a great sale from Fiji Airways. Glad you were able to take advantage of it.

      • +1

        it was awesome - the price and the holiday. Fiji airport was shut down on the 10th due to a hurricane so they put me on a direct qantas flight to LA. score.

        • I'm heading to California this November with the family. Was there anywhere your kids particularly enjoyed or you would recommend?

        • What was Fijian Airways like?

        • @hardya: it was fine. as good as qantas. the leg between Nadi-Bris was with a Boeing 737-800 with no individual TVs. but it was only 3hours.45 minutes(?) as a flight. the flight from LA to Nadi was on a Airbus A330-200 . full service, etc. not bad.

          Disneyland ;)

          @Cheap Steve: my itinerary (which I was super happy with) was. my kids are 9,11,12 and they were stoked with this holiday

          tuesay 9am arrive LAX (collect car - used Turo (airbnb for cars). drive 5 hours NE to Olancha (past Mohave desert) . stay at Olancha RV camp in a Tipi. awesome mountains behind. kids loved it. the semi desert is excellent to wander around.
          wednesday - drive to DeathValley (about 1 hour) , drive through death valley and looking around (would suggest staying at Furnace creek as I drove to bridgeport from death valley via Nevada and it was a huge day. Death Valley was huge dry and hot. saw a coyote by the road side
          thursday. - drive to Bridgeport. small town. picturesque. nice. saw deer , just outside bridgeport (~10kms to the south on 395) is a side road to a large ghost town called Bodie state historical park - the road was closed due to snow :(
          friday - drive to Kirkwood ski resort (about 2 hours) . snow. beautiful - we got there just after ski season finished but so much snow and no one around. awesome snow. kids loved it
          saturday - drive to san fran. stay 3 days - golden gate bridge, berkley, shopping day.
          tuesday - drive along coastal road -stopping at places - we saw seals!. stop midway for the night.
          wednesday continue slow drive to LA
          thursday - arrive LA.

          at that time of the year if you are wanting to go to the mountainous national parks like yellowstone then you won't be able to. many of those mountain roads are not cleared/plowed and remain closed during winter. (it was my plan to go through yellowstone, hence the diversion a little north to kirkwood)

          stuff to do in LA - watch a filming of a TV show (we saw Americas Got Talent), Disney land (Or adventure world for older kids), shopping, Holywood sign, starstreet place. various adventure/science museums.

          there is so much to do and see every where.

        • +3

          @altomic: Great itinerary! I'm sure you and the kids would have thoroughly enjoyed it. A couple of things I did (as an adult) in SF I think kids would love would be the Muir Woods forest and the California Academy of Science. Both are stunning. I did Yosemite as well while (driving from LA to Yosemite to SF) and the drive itself was awesome.

        • +1

          @cyssero: LA is amazing if you avoid the tourist traps. Tar pits… Real Mexican food. Norton. Pasadena. Huntington library. There is just so much.

        • @hardya: The seats like to recline… more than they're designed to…

        • @cyssero: i agree John Muir woods is awesome to visit if you want to take in a coastal sequoia forest.

        • @altomic: ifinal travel tip for LA. when you are leaving visit the Trader Joe supermarket (it's a chain of wholefood supermarkets - 365 is similar) about 2 kms north LAX on Sepulveda Boulevard (main road outside LAX). as you are driving you will see the "back" (large and long red brick wall) of a Kohls store and several other stores . head around the other side. Single Malt whiskey (produced and bottled in Scotland) US$19.95. .

          I bought the single malt. it is very very nice. smooth and brilliantly priced at US$19.95

          if I'd known it's texture then I wouldn't have bought the vodka US$9.95 nor the teuila for US$9.95. (though if their quality is on par with the scotch then that is cool.

          Australian customs allows 2.25litres of booze. Pack it in you checked luggage.

        • @cornbeef: damn, Muir Woods. we were so close (we travelled back to our accommodation which was east (Walnut Creek) north on the 101 and back around the bay

        • @altomic: America is full of amazing landscapes. Such a beautiful place.

  • -1

    Copy much?

    I wish virgins WOULD copy non virgins…

  • So have people bought this and pretended they have a "child"?

    • lol!!!!!!! what happens if you buy and then the child is a no-show, just fare forfeit? which is still a plus??! loool!

      • That's why I'm asking! haha
        Someone plz confirm

    • Branson acts like a child

  • Thanks for sharing. great prices. the cheaper kids flights are a score.

  • Any idea what Velocity Status and Velocity Points you would earn from Perth to LA?

  • quick,someone lend me their kid

  • +1

    I remember when airfares to the US were about $3,000 round trip back in the late 90s. How can 20 years of inflation and rising fuel costs actually reduce the price so much?

    • More competition may be!

    • higher fuel Efficiencies, more competition, lower margins, economies of scale.

      • But Qantas are using many of the same planes today as they did in the late 90s. i.e. the 747-400ER. So how can they be more efficient?

        • Not every flight is equally as profitable.

        • Fully depreciated capital expenses for the planes perhaps? More passengers per flight now too.

  • +1

    Flights are just so cheap now! These prices are in peak summer holiday times too…if only the wife wasn’t pregnant with our third…

    • +1

      cheap flights are crazy cheap.

      last year I went to cairns for $63, Beijing for $225, India for $260, Japan for $315, Vietnam for $350, This year - LA for $600, and Japan for $290.
