Virgin Australia’s maiden ‘Halloween Night Flight’ kicks off latest Velocity sales in spooky fashion

By Zach Havard

Virgin Australia celebrated its maiden ‘Halloween Night Flight’ (VA570: Perth – Sydney) with Mars Wrigley offering a trick-or-treating experience at 40,000 feet.

The departure gate at Perth Airport was transformed into a haunted hall where guests received their very own Halloween makeover before boarding the first flight of its kind.

Onboard, cobweb-covered bar carts were pushed by cabin crew whose uniforms were given a ghoulish glow-up, offering guests midnight treats from M&M’S, Mars Bars, Milky Way and more, before touching down in Sydney at 6.15 am local time.

More seats for less! Velocity “slashes” pricing on Virgin Australia Reward Seats

To get into the Halloween spirit, pricing on selected Virgin Australia domestic Economy Reward Seats have been “slashed”, with fares on offer from a scary low price of just 5,200 Velocity Points.

The airline has also released 600,000 additional Economy Reward Seats on Virgin Australia-operated domestic and international routes, giving Australians more opportunities to fly for fewer Points amidst the rising cost of living.

“It’s our mission to be Australia’s most loved airline and that means giving our customers wonderful experiences whenever they fly,” chief customer and digital officer, Virgin Australia, Paul Jones, said.

“Halloween has become increasingly popular in Australia over the last decade, and it’s a holiday we are excited to share with our guests as we take the spooky celebrations sky-high.

“Our cabin crew loved getting into the spirit of Halloween and guests were thrilled by the theatrics. From the eerie orange in-flight lighting and spooky costumes to the mid-air trick-or-treating, it was without a doubt one of our most memorable flights.”
