On June 30, 2023, Qantas will terminate its partnership with Luxury Escapes, and the premium travel package provider will instead establish an exclusive loyalty collaboration with Virgin Australia’s Velocity Frequent Flyer program.

  • The proposed partnership, set to begin mid-year, will significantly expand earn and redemption opportunities for Velocity and Luxury Escapes members, providing more rewards and better value for Australian travellers than ever before.
  • Amid the rising cost of living, luxury holidays and experiences will be more possible for millions of Australians with the proposed partnership set to allow Velocity members to book thousands of holiday packages, hotels, cruises, tours and experiences using Points and Points + Pay online at luxuryescapes.com.
  • According to Luxury Escapes’ 2023 Travel Trends Report*, nine in 10 Australians plan to travel either domestically or internationally in 2023, with destinations such as Bali, Fiji, Gold Coast and Cairns among the most popular.

Virgin Australia’s Velocity Frequent Flyer loyalty program and Luxury Escapes are set to join forces in an exclusive new strategic partnership that will bring two of the country’s most loved travel brands together, to the benefit of millions of Australians.

From mid-year, Velocity’s more than 11 million members, and Luxury Escapes’ 3 million Australian customers will be able to earn and redeem Velocity Points on thousands of luxury holiday packages, hotels, cruises, tours and experiences at luxuryescapes.com, setting a new benchmark in value and rewards for these travellers.

The proposed partnership will also allow members to offset the cost of booking their next Luxury Escapes holiday by using Velocity Points to pay for part, or all, of their booking – making a premium holiday even more possible for millions of Australians challenged by the rising cost of living.

The proposed partnership will cement Velocity as the exclusive airline loyalty program for one of the world’s fastest growing travel companies, as Velocity’s membership base soars following a string of new partnerships, loyalty rewards and value offers, under the successfully transformed Virgin Australia.
