Virgin Australia is celebrating its return to the ASX with a massive sale across the carrier's entire network where flights are going for as little as $49.
The nation's second largest carrier is heading back onto the stock market for the first time since 2020 with a four day 'Bell to Boarding Sale'.
From 12:01am on Tuesday to Friday 11:59pm, travellers can lap up an array of flights at bargain prices - including a one-way economy lite domestic flight from Sydney to Ballina for less than a pineapple.
Canberra to the Gold Coast flights are going from $85, Melbourne to Uluru from $99, Brisbane to Hamilton Island from $119, Perth to Sydney from $209 and dozens of others.
The sale also extends to travellers looking to whip out their passport for some jaunts across the Tasman, further out into the Pacific or even up north to Bali.
Melbourne to Queenstown return economy lite airfares are starting from $455, Brisbane to Vanuatu will set travellers back $489, Sydney to Fiji is going from $595, Gold Coast to Bali from $489, Brisbane to Samoa from $729 and more.
Virgin Australia's chief marketing officer Libby Minogue said the sale comes as the carrier looks to help more Aussies "take to the skies and explore the incredible destinations we fly to".
'With these great-value fares, there's never been a better time to book your next adventure – whether it's a quick getaway or a long-awaited holiday,' Ms Minogue said.
'Whether it's relaxing on a sunny beach in Bali or exploring the stunning beauty of Hamilton Island, there's something for everyone.'
Travellers keen to stretch their legs can also save on upgrades to economy X seats.
Aussies can fork out an extra $27 on certain domestic routes, such as Canberra to Adelaide, for an upgrade or spend $39 on select international flights, including Brisbane to Fiji.
These airfares apply for selected travel dates between July 22 and March 26 2026 and run until the weekend or they are sold out.
The sale is to celebrate Virgin Australia offering 30.2 per cent of the company, or $685 million for $2.90 per share, to investors on Tuesday.

ASX to rise, Wall St gains, oil drops
Australian shares are poised to rally, in line with gains in New York as investors interpreted Iran's missile attacks on two US bases in the Middle East as signs of a measured response. Oil dropped. The missile attacks on US bases in Qatar and Iraq were viewed as a sign that Iran's ability to widen the war with Israel may be limited. Brent Crude tumbled more than 6 per cent. Israel continued its air assault on Iran, hitting more targets in Tehran including the gates to Evin Prison, the primary facility where Iran holds political dissidents. 'History suggests most geopolitically-led sell-offs are short-lived/modest,' Morgan Stanley strategists led by Michael Wilson wrote in a note. 'Oil prices will determine whether volatility persists.' 'Prior geopolitical risk events have led to some volatility for equities in the very short term (i.e., next few days), but 1/3/12 months post these events, the S&P 500 has been up 2 per cent/3 per cent/9 per cent, on average.' In a speech, Federal Reserve vice chair for supervision Michelle Bowman said: 'Should inflation pressures remain contained, I would support lowering the policy rate as soon as our next meeting in order to bring it closer to its neutral setting and to sustain a healthy labour market.' Market highlights ASX futures are pointing up 46 points or 0.5 per cent to 8504. All US prices are as of 2.20pm New York time. Today's agenda Queensland and New South Wales will table state budgets on Tuesday. In China, the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress is holding its 16th session through to June 27.

The airline facing a double-whammy after Trump's bunker-busting
You've probably never heard of Mike Murphy – but he is the guy who was choking on his smashed avocado toast at about 9am on Sunday when US President Donald Trump dropped his massive ordnance penetrators on three Iran nuclear installations. Murphy runs the Australian arm of Bain, the majority owner of airline Virgin, which is set to list on the Australian market on Tuesday as the highest profile ASX entrant in years. Timing is everything for investing, and for Bain, the timing of the Virgin listing looks atrocious. Those investors who bought in pre-listing and who were looking to sell out immediately – for what are referred to as stag profits – may need to rethink. Airlines, in particular, are highly sensitive to any geopolitical conflict and they are even more vulnerable to those in oil-producing territories. Loading First, this is because the oil prices surges, and for airlines, fuel is one of the major costs. Second, international airline flights can be disrupted, redirected or in some cases, those that fly over affected areas will temporarily abandon services. Already, British Airways and Singapore Airlines have suspended a number of flights to the Gulf, affecting routes to key hubs such as Dubai, Doha and Bahrain, citing safety concerns and evolving airspace restrictions.
