More business, smarter rewards: Travel made simple
Loyalty is hard to earn, but undeniably worth it — for both parties. In today's fast-paced business world, where flexibility and reliability are everything, Australian companies need more than just flights — they need a travel partner that backs their operations, rewards loyalty, and truly gets their needs. Virgin Australia is proving to be that partner, with a comprehensive suite of benefits that elevate business travel for everyone — from large corporations to growing 'small to medium enterprises' (SMEs).
Here's how Virgin Australia for Business delivers value across status, rewards and service for Australian businesses.
Achieve elite status, elevate every journey
Frequent business travel shouldn't just feel productive — it should feel premium. Velocity Frequent Flyer Status delivers just that, offering tangible returns on every journey. Velocity Gold status provides benefits like lounge access, additional baggage allowances and smoother experiences across the board, such as priority check-in and boarding (where available).
For small and medium-sized enterprises wanting to fast-track their team's benefits, the Virgin Australia Business Flyer (VABF) program offers a unique opportunity: Pilot Gold — an immediate three-month trial of Velocity Gold with all its perks, and a fast-track to a full 12-month membership.
Plus, Virgin Australia is stepping it up further. From October 1, 2025, two new tiers will launch:
Forever Gold: Recognising long-term loyalty with lifetime Gold Status benefits, Forever Gold rewards those who accumulate 12,000 Status Credits (since February 1, 2013), with at least 9000 credits flown on Virgin Australia.*
Platinum Plus: Designed for the most frequent flyers, earned by securing 2000 Status Credits (1500 with Virgin Australia flights flown by the member) within a 12-month window. Platinum Plus offers all Platinum benefits plus the ability to gift a Platinum Velocity membership to another Velocity Frequent Flyer, complimentary upgrades to Business Class on eligible Virgin Australia flights, and a 'Fly Later' option for domestic travel.*
Rewarding your business, not just your travellers
Business travel is an investment — and your business deserves a return. The Virgin Australia Business Flyer program goes beyond earning Velocity points — it's structured to deliver tangible benefits directly back to your business.
