Virgin Australia to expand its presence in Greater China under new codeshare with Hainan Airlines
Virgin Australia and Hainan Airlines have announced a new codeshare agreement that will create a streamlined travel experience for guests flying between Australia and mainland China.
Under this new agreement, the codeshare will enable:
Guests travelling from China to access an expanded network of Virgin Australia domestic connections within Australia and across the trans-Tasman, including Cairns, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth and Auckland
Velocity Frequent Flyer members to earn Velocity Points and Status Credits and Fortune Wings Club members to earn Points and Status Qualifying Points when flying with either airline under the codeshare
Guests to book all flights, including connecting flights, under the one booking, with a single baggage drop where permitted
In addition to the codeshare, eligible guests under both frequent flyer programs will be afforded with additional customer benefits when travelling on all Hong Kong Airlines operated flights (excluding to and from North America), and on international services between Australia, New Zealand and Greater China.
