Giddy Up for the Disco Rodeo Pride Flight, presented by Virgin Australia.
Yeehaw folks! Pride Flight 2026 is takin’ off with a whole new western vibe. So, saddle up and sprinkle on some sparkle, this rainbow rodeo above the clouds is your runway to Australia’s biggest LGBTQIA+ celebration.
Departing from Brisbane and Melbourne to Sydney on Friday, 27 February 2026, the Disco Rodeo Pride Flight will be bringin’ boots, beats, and boogie to 38,000 feet.
Expect disco balls, denim, drag, and a whole lotta yeehaw as we turn the cabin into a rhinestone-studded rodeo. Whether you're a country queen, a disco diva, or somewhere in between, this flight’s got your name on it.
Supporting The Pinnacle Foundation
Virgin Australia is proud to continue its multi-year Gold partnership with The Pinnacle Foundation, Australia’s LGBTQIA+ education charity, in 2026. Pride Flight ticket sales directly contribute to this important cause.
“We are so excited to be continuing our partnership with Virgin Australia for Pride Flight 2026. This partnership directly supports the Virgin Australia scholarship, which will be awarded to a Pinnacle Scholar who is studying from a broad range of fields relevant to aviation and tourism.
This type of support is essential, as it allows us to continue providing our community of young LGBTQIA+ Australians with the much-needed opportunity to realise their full potential through education, mentorship and advocacy."
Pinnacle Foundation Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Staite
