GETTING AROUND AUSTRALASIA MADE EASY…
Virgin Blue launches “no strings” Airpass from $A207*!
Monday 16 June 2008: Virgin Blue has today announced a new and easy way to discover Australia and New Zealand by air. Imagine being able to get discounted air fares on multiple sectors with no minimum or maximum stay required.
Imagine having these fares available year-round, with no season restrictions; no change fees for extensions or to change your flights and a pass that can be bought independently, to be used in conjunction with any international air ticket on any airline operating to Australia!
From September 2008 international travellers visiting Australasia will be able to do exactly that when they buy the revolutionary new Virgin Blue Airpass! Airpass packages of three flight sectors start from just $A207*.
“Our new Airpass is designed to be very affordable, easy to buy and easy to use,” said Stefan Pichler, Chief Commercial Officer, Virgin Blue Airlines.
“Airpass holders can fly on their choice of 53 routes across Australia and New Zealand, allowing travellers to explore capital cities, regional towns and tourism centres across our Australasian network.”
It’s easy; all you have to do is select a minimum of three flights from any of the Virgin Blue Fly Zones. That is, three flight sectors may be selected from within the one Fly Zone, or they may be selected from more than one Fly Zone.
The Virgin Blue Airpass is also valid for 12 months, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your holiday in Australia and/or New Zealand. The cost of your flights is based on air mileage and how far you fly. Pay only for the air miles you use!
