You can do a lot with $99 these days. It’ll get you around 25 sausage rolls from the servo, 11 floppy sun hats from the chemist, entry to three overly niche museums, or one night in a very questionable motel. But here’s a far better idea: you could spend it on flights to Australia’s Red Centre, which we’d say is a priceless experience in itself.
This incredibly rare deal is part of Virgin Australia’s 72-Hour Uluru Sale, running from Monday, June 2 to Wednesday, June 4 at 11.59pm (or until sold out). The best part? You won’t have to wait long to take off, with travel dates available between July 2025 and March 2026.
Brisbane and Melbourne flyers score the best deal, with one-way economy fares to Uluru from just $99 – valid in both directions. Travellers from Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart and the Gold Coast can snap up one-way fares from $199, with a scenic stopover in Brissy or Melbourne. Meanwhile, those coming from Cairns can fly from $209 and travellers from Perth can snag fares starting at $349.
From witnessing the world’s best sunrise to dining beneath a starry desert night sky, Uluru is full of bucket-list experiences. On the ancestral lands of the Anangu people, it’s also one of the most powerful places to connect with Aboriginal culture. Highlights include the breathtaking Wintjiri Wiru drone show, the captivating Sunrise Journeys light and art experience, and Indigenous-led experiences covering astronomy, ancient rock art and bush tucker.
