It’s always nice when an airline offers some type of promotion, especially when you’re able to get double something. Virgin has been a little quiet this year with promotions, but it still is only February, as time goes on we’ll see some nice offers. With the airline having repurchased their program, this means there’s a lot of things in store for the future.

While not as attractive as the double status credits offered by Qantas, Virgin Australia is currently running a double promotion, but this is for points. The airline is offering passengers the ability to earn double Velocity points but there’s one caveat, not all routes will be able to earn double points.

These offers are great to get some extra value and are especially useful if you’re a loyal Virgin passenger or a free agent and fly for the promos. I’ve got a few flights planned coming up on Virgin Australia, so I’ll be activating for sure.

As I mention on all of these posts, even if you don’t plan on flying or using the promotion, still activate it as you never know when it may come in handy.
