Virgin Velocity members - Middle Seat Lottery

[culturebird]

Your chance to win a prize, just for sitting in the middle seat

We know that not every seat is created equal. But we believe that every seat should be wonderful - even the ones in the middle.

That’s why we created the Middle Seat Lottery. It turns the middle seat into a chance to win wonderful prizes, like Velocity Platinum Status and a million Points, Caribbean cruises with Virgin Voyages including return flights to the US, or even a custom artwork by an Australian artist.

How to enter:

1. Check your eligibility

First things first, you need to have sat in a middle seat, as shown on your boarding pass. You also need to be a Velocity member, aged 18 or over and reside in Australia. If you’re not already a Velocity a member, it’s free to join.

 
2. Download our app

Open the Virgin Australia app and tap the Middle Seat Lottery tile to find your flight and enter your details. You’ll need to make sure that you have the latest version of the app downloaded.
