Flight changes, cancellations and refunds

We all know COVID-19 is causing unprecedented change and uncertainty in our world, but at Virgin Australia, our guests have always been, and will always be our first priority.

We understand if you can no longer travel and you need to make changes to your existing Velocity booking. Your options will depend on when you booked, when your travel is, if you booked using Velocity Points or directly through Virgin Australia and your type of booking.

If you need to make changes to your existing booking or can no longer travel, you can find change or refund information below.

You can also redeem your Points for hotel stays at over 15,000 properties across Australia, and redeem Points for car hire with Europcar.

Long haul international travel

Whilst Virgin Australia is continuing with the suspension of international flights to Los Angeles and Japan for the foreseeable future, we intend on resuming these when the global travel market recovers. Members with Virgin Australia international redemption bookings to Los Angeles and Japan will be contacted shortly and will be able to rebook domestic travel or receive a refund. When international travel restrictions ease, you’ll still be able to book redemption flights with global airline partners.

You’ll also continue to be able to enjoy Virgin Australia’s award-winning service and Reward Seat availability. If you’re not yet taking to the skies, you can still continue to earn Points with a number of our program partners on the ground.
