Looking for unbeatable flight deals? Virgin Australia Happy Hour sales are a favourite among budget-savvy travellers across Australia. These weekly sales offer incredible discounts to some of the most popular domestic and international destinations. And this week, the airline's got a host of domestic fares and stellar prices on return flights to Bali, starting as low as AU$379 from the east coast.

If you're ready to snag a great fare, here's everything you need to know about these exciting sales, including when they happen, the deals they offer, and why they're worth your attention.

Virgin Australia Happy Hour typically runs every Thursday from 4 pm to 11 pm (AEST), but are sometimes extended through the weekend or start earlier in the day. This short window is your chance to secure discounted flights to fantastic destinations. Mark your calendars and set a reminder, as these deals are only available for seven hours and sell fast!

This week, Virgin has extended its hapy hour sale to last until Saturday, 24 January, so you've got extra time to lock in a deal with the airline. Here's a taste of what's included this week:

These deals cover both domestic and international routes, often including popular cities and scenic holiday destinations. Keep in mind that fares are subject to availability, and terms apply.

While Black Friday and Boxing Day sales often include significant discounts across many sectors, Virgin Australia's Happy Hour stands out for its regular weekly offers. Unlike annual events like Black Friday and Boxing Day, Happy Hour provides consistent opportunities for travellers to find great savings.

For example, during a Virgin Australia Black Friday sale, one could find Melbourne to Sydney fares from AU$59 one-way. While slightly cheaper than typical Happy Hour prices, those deals only happen once a year. On the flip side, Happy Hour fares, like a Sydney to Gold Coast flight for AU$75 one-way, are available almost every week.

If you're flexible and enjoy planning throughout the year, Happy Hour sales are an excellent option. For those aiming to shop exclusively during holiday sales, bookmarking Boxing Day or Black Friday might be more appealing. For more details, check out Virgin Australia’s.
