Virgin Australia has put Adelaide on its Pets in Cabin map, with first departures set for 23 June 2026 and bookings open now. The expansion adds Adelaide-Melbourne and Adelaide-Gold Coast sectors in both directions, extending a service that began in October 2025 and has already carried almost 1,500 pets.
The move broadens a cabin-pet product still subject to airport approvals, but it also signals that Virgin is treating the trial as a durable ancillary revenue stream rather than a short-lived experiment. Further routes remain under review, with more destinations likely to follow as airport sign-off and operational constraints fall into place.
