-
Can I cancel my Black Friday booking?
Black Friday fares are some of our best deals, so Economy Lite and Economy Choice bookings are usually non-refundable or subject to a cancellation fee.
If you’d like flexibility, add Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) at the time of booking your Black Friday Sale fare.
CFAR lets you cancel for any reason up to 24 hours before departure and receive a refund of either 80% or 100% of your airfare.
CFAR is only available on Economy Lite and Economy Choice fares when booking directly through the Virgin Australia website or mobile site, and it must be added during booking - it can’t be added later.
Without CFAR, cancelling an Economy Lite fare results in a loss of fare, and Economy Choice cancellations incur a $109 fee.
-
Do I need a promo code for the Black Friday Sale?
No promo code is required. Black Friday fares will automatically appear in the App and on the website once the sale is live.
