Credit card fees
In line with industry practice, Virgin Australia has introduced a surcharge for fares paid by credit cards or debit cards.
Payments by credit or debit card attract a surcharge per passenger, per flight segment which will be added to the total price of your fare when you select your credit card or debit card type on the payment screen.
Credit card surcharges are non-refundable in all cases, even if the airfare itself is refundable.
| Fare Type | Amount of Surcharge (per Guest, per Flight Segment) |
|---|---|
| Australian domestic flight | AUD $5.50 |
| International flight booked in Australian Dollars | AUD $5.50 |
