Virgin Australia has announced that COVID-era flight credits are due to expire within weeks, specifically by the end of this month. This impending deadline affects thousands of Australian travelers who hold these credits.
The airline has drawn criticism for what some perceive as "pocketing" $93 million worth of these flight credits. These credits were issued during the COVID-19 pandemic and represent funds from canceled or rebooked flights that have yet to be redeemed.
Customers with outstanding Virgin Australia flight credits from the pandemic period must claim them before the current month concludes to avoid their expiry.
According to ABC News Australia, the total value of these expiring credits stands at $93 million.
