Frequently asked questions
Does Virgin Australia fly from the U.S.?
Virgin Australia has operated transpacific routes in the past. Currently, most U.S.–Australia travel is on Qantas, United, Delta, and American. FaresMatch compares all carriers on U.S.–Australia routes.
Is Virgin Australia the same as Virgin Atlantic?
