Baggage fees
No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.
Official baggage policyHow to use this policy
Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.
Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.
Virgin Australia liquids policy
Virgin Australia states no powder, liquid, aerosol or gel quantity restriction on Australian domestic flights, subject to dangerous-goods rules. International-flight liquids must be in containers no larger than 100 ml; check departure and transit security requirements.
Family & Infants
Infant (under 2)
A lap infant may bring an additional personal item up to 45×33×20 cm and 8 kg for infant essentials, not an independent 7 kg main bag. An infant with a purchased Economy seat receives the ordinary Economy allowance.
Stroller
A compact pram up to 56×36×23 cm and 8 kg when folded replaces the main cabin bag. Larger prams may be checked free; collection location is not guaranteed here. Up to three eligible infant equipment items may be checked free.
Car seat
Eligible infant car seats may be checked free. Cabin use requires an approved aircraft-certified seat, a purchased seat and acceptance of the seating/fit requirements.
Children's allowance
Children receive the same ordinary cabin allowance as adults.
