Farewell to my bank account and my manager, who’s about to be swamped with leave requests because Virgin Australia has launched a fantastic Black Friday sale.

Travel enthusiasts can now take advantage of a sale on over half a million flights through Virgin Australia’s Black Friday event. Here's the kicker: the lowest fare starts at just 49 bucks.

Travelers can snag a variety of budget-friendly flights for journeys between January 10, 2024, and June 20, 2024. Regarding the destinations? As Cady Heron famously said in Mean Girls, “the limit does not exist”.

In essence, there’s an abundance of destinations available in this airfare extravaganza.

Here’s a brief overview of all the places you can explore with these incredible fares.

Domestic Destinations

The most affordable flight available is a one-way ticket from Sydney to Ballina for $49. If a Byron Bay retreat isn't your thing, Sydneysiders can also head to the Sunshine Coast for $69, the Gold Coast for $79, Hobart for $85, or Adelaide for $129.

Melbourne residents can secure a one-way ticket to Launceston for $59. For those not in the mood for Tasmania, Melburnians can fly to Adelaide for $99, Canberra for $109, or the Gold Coast for $115.

If a tropical escape is on your mind, flights from Melbourne to Hamilton Island start at $139, and to Cairns, fares begin at $145.

Those seeking sale fares from Perth can grab a one-way ticket to Darwin for $219 and a delightful little flight from Canberra starting at $109.

International Destinations

Here come the major ones (not that Australia lacks exciting destinations, but we do love to be global travelers when we can).

If you’re craving sushi in Japan, return flights from Cairns to Tokyo start at $679! What a fantastic deal. In search of a different ~vibe~? Sydney to Queenstown fares start at $435 — return, by the way.

Other excellent deals, all return tickets, include Gold Coast to Denpasar from $449, Adelaide to Denpasar from $449, Brisbane to Nadi from $509, Brisbane to Queenstown from $509, Brisbane to Vanuatu from $569, and much more.

Just like in the State of Origin, it seems Queensland triumphed in this sale.

With dates spanning from January to June, you could potentially spend every weekend in a new location.

As the saying goes: catch flights, not feelings!

The Virgin Australia Black Friday sale is now live and continues until Tuesday, November 28, unless seats sell out before then.

It’s best to secure those annual leave dates as soon as possible.
