When it comes to frequent flyer points, having choices matters, and with Virgin Australia’s new services, there are even more options for you to amass and utilise those hard-earned points. Here are the standout perks:

EARNING AND REDEEMING VELOCITY POINTS

Boost Your Balance: Earn Velocity Points by flying these routes as they are officially Virgin Australia flights, which means your family holiday just got a bit closer.

Booking with Points Made Easier: Redeem Velocity Points for a one-way Business Class ticket from the east coast for 119,500 points, or 89,500 from Perth. Economy class seats are available for 56,000 and 42,000 points respectively.

THE IMPACT ON AUSTRALIAN TRAVELLERS

This partnership represents more than just a new route—it's about enhancing choice and accessibility for Australians far and wide. With new daily services, Virgin Australia is empowering more passengers to embark on journeys that align conveniently with personal schedules, thereby swelling the holistic reach of travel from Aussie shores.

OPENING THE WORLD

Having another daily flight choice means you could find the perfect departure time that reduces layovers or opens up unconventional routes. Choose what fits best for your plans, not what already exists—a transformative choice for those eager to optimise travel time.

INCREASED COMPETITION = BETTER DEALS

Competition heats up, and the cost of flying frequently dips. The aviation market responds dynamically to shifts in competitive pressure, meaning good news for airfare prices. Both in terms of filling seats and offering enticing pricing models, these new flights stand to benefit diligent point hunters always scouting the latest deals.

Virgin Australia Takes Flight with Qatar Airways – Maximise Your Points and Travel Game!

Exciting new routes. Unique point-earning opportunities. Unlock the world with just a few clicks.

There’s an undeniable thrill that accompanies the anticipation of a new journey – the hum of the airport, the gentle nudge towards your destination signposted by glittering departure boards. And now, for Australian travellers and avid points-collectors, that buzz just got more exciting! Virgin Australia's launch of flights to Doha in collaboration with Qatar Airways marks an exciting era of expanded connectivity, and the skies are shimmering with potential for savvy travellers. This is not just an increase in flight options; it's a new array of opportunities to make the most of your frequent flyer points and credit card rewards. This world is finally within reach, whether it's Business Class comfort on points or seamlessly connecting to alluring destinations beyond Qatar. Let's unpack how this can elevate your flight strategies to unprecedented heights.

VIRGIN AUSTRALIA SOARS HIGH WITH QATAR AIRWAYS

For a while now, Qatar Airways has had its own bustling presence flying from major Australian cities like Sydney, Brisbane and Perth to the vibrant heart of Doha. However, limitations on the number of flights they could operate meant a fresh approach was needed to meet the ever-growing demand. This is where Virgin Australia, in collaboration with Qatar Airways, steps in – and, thanks to the ingenious 'wet lease' agreement, more seats are now on offer. Unlike a codeshare where Qatar's flights retained their identity, this deal is a collaborative arrangement, thrusting Virgin into the spotlight while Qatar provides the aircraft and crew. It’s officially a Virgin Australia flight, so expect great Virgin service with the precision and luxurious touch of Qatar Airways.

💡 This means more schedule flexibility, more connection options worldwide, and most importantly, more chances to earn and redeem points for those dream escapades.
