Domestic

Maximum limits

Oversized baggage can be checked in, provided each piece does not exceed 32kg in weight. Guests with oversized baggage may call the Guest Contact Centre on 13 67 89 before arriving at the airport.

Note: Please distribute weight equally between bags when travelling with multiple bags.

Virgin Australia’s fleet includes a number of different aircraft types, all of which have slightly different operational limitations that affect the weight and size of the baggage they can carry.

Aircraft type Maximum length
B737 3.0 metres in length
A320 3.0 metres in length
F100 3.0 metres in length

Virgin Australia will make all reasonable efforts to transport oversized items on the same flight as their owners, but we cannot guarantee that this will be the case.

 

Wheelchairs and mobility aids

Wheelchairs/mobility aids are carried free of charge when required for personal use by guests who are travelling. For further information on travelling with assistance see our Mobility Assistance page.

Due to restrictions in our aircraft hold space there is a limit on the amount of electric wheelchairs/mobility aids permitted per flight. The maximum amount and dimensions of electric wheelchairs/mobility aids are as listed below. All items must be properly packaged, so that they do not cause damage to our aircraft or guest baggage.
