Virgin Australia Starlight Golden Wish Experience

Welcome to Virgin Australia’s Starlight Golden Wish Experience!

This September, Virgin Australia is creating a special Gold Coast Wish Week experience for three Starlight families. Each Wish child will receive a Virgin Australia Starlight Golden Wish Ticket to their dream Gold Coast adventure.

Virgin Australia’s Gold Coast Wish Week Experience will spark all the excitement, anticipation and joy of a Starlight Wish with some added magic along the way.

Behind-the-scenes magic

Through the Golden Wish Ticket experience, Virgin Australia is making the journey part of the magic, with special moments designed to create lasting family memories, including:

Exclusive behind-the-scenes access at Brisbane Airport, offering a rare glimpse into the world of aviation.

Starlight kids and their families won't just be passengers, they'll become honorary members of the Virgin Australia team!

This once-in-a-lifetime experience will see kids make boarding announcements, meet pilots and crew, and discover all the action that gets aircraft safely into the air.

Our partnership

This year marks Virgin Australia's 16th year as Starlight's official Wishgranting Partner. Since 2010, Virgin Australia has helped make more than 3,000 Starlight travel Wishes possible for seriously ill children and their families.

The Virgin Australia team go above and beyond to help create life-changing travel experiences that bring joy, connection and special memories when families need it most.

For Virgin Australia, the journey is just as important as the destination, with team members coming together to make every Wish memorable from the moment families arrive at the airport.

Impact of a Starlight Wish

Starlight Wishes give seriously ill children and their families something positive to look forward to, precious time together and the opportunity to create memories that last a lifetime.

For three families, this Golden Ticket is much more than a trip. It’s a chance to share a special experience together and create positive memories during a challenging time.
