Specific needs and assistance

If you require special, ‘individual’ assistance, at the airport or during your flight, we ask that you tell us about it in advance. That way, we can plan for your arrival and ensure that your travel is hassle free.

Virgin Australia has partnered with Medical Travel Companions to offer a premium service that creates independence for customers who love to travel. 

Our Nervous Flyer program is for anyone that experiences overwhelming nervousness when flying and is available on all Virgin Australia operated flights.

If you do not meet our independent travel criteria you must travel with a carer.

To satisfy the dietary and medical needs of all our guests we offer a selection of special meals on our international long haul service.

Meet and Assist is a service we offer for guests who require specific assistance with carrying cabin baggage throughout their journey.

Your safety and comfort is important to us, so to make your flight as enjoyable as can be, we need to know about your specific assistance needs in advance.
