Tuesday, March 19, 2024 – The first codeshare flights between Virgin Australia and Link Airways go on general sale today, giving regional Australians the chance to fly between 41 destinations across the country on a single booking.
The partnership expands Virgin Australia’s regional footprint by approximately 45 percent, offering services to destinations like Inverell, Wollongong, and Bileola which are not currently serviced by any other major airline.
From today, guests can book codeshare flights directly via Virgin Australia’s website, on any of the 17 new routes, equating to around 90 more flight opportunities across regional Australia per week.
Guests with Velocity membership will be able to earn both Points and Status Credits on Virgin Australia codeshare services operated by Link Airways, and Velocity Platinum, Gold and Silver members will also earn bonus Points and receive an additional baggage allowance, when flying on eligible fares. Eligible Velocity members can also access Virgin Australia Lounges when travelling on these Virgin Australia codeshare services.
