How to Book Virgin Australia Flights Using Passport Rewards

Virgin Australia flights are now within easy reach for Passport members. By converting your Passport Points into Air Canada Aeroplan Miles, you can redeem flights on Virgin Australia across the domestic network at excellent value.

Whether you are heading from Sydney to Melbourne for work or escaping to the Whitsundays, this is one of the smartest ways to stretch your points.

Why It’s a Great Deal

Air Canada’s Aeroplan program has partnered with Virgin Australia, giving members access to book flights across the Virgin domestic network using miles. Once your Passport Points are converted into Aeroplan Miles, you can book Virgin Australia flights directly through the Aeroplan website.

Here are some of the best-value redemptions available to Australian travellers:

Compared with paying cash, these redemptions deliver strong value, especially for longer flights such as Perth to Sydney or Melbourne to Cairns, where cash fares can run high in peak periods.

How to Book

1. Convert Passport Points to Air Canada Aeroplan
   Log in to your Passport account and select Air Canada Aeroplan as your transfer partner. Transfers are usually processed within hours.

2. Search for Flights on Aeroplan
   Visit aircanada.com/aeroplan and search for your chosen route. Make sure to select “Book with Points.” Virgin Australia-operated flights will appear in the results.

3. Choose Your Flight and Cabin
   Select your preferred flight in economy or business class. The site will display the points required and any applicable taxes.

4. Confirm and Fly
   Once booked, your Virgin Australia confirmation will appear in your Aeroplan itinerary. You can then manage your flight directly on Virgin Australia’s website or app.

Tips for Getting the Best Value

• Book early for peak routes

• Try a mix of economy and business class to make your balance go further.

• Look for longer domestic routes like Perth to Sydney, where redemptions deliver the most value per point.

   

The Bottom Line

Virgin Australia’s partnership with Air Canada Aeroplan gives Passport members another powerful way to use their points. From 8,000 points in economy, it’s a flexible and rewarding way to travel domestically without paying full cash fares.

With Passport Rewards, everyday shopping can now take you to the coast, the reef or across the country in comfort.
