When booking VA on Expedia, can one avoid Saver Lite?

I've got a domestic trip next month MEL-BNE, and am inclined to book on Expedia because it's my go-to ITA.

Is there a way to determine (or choose) the coach fare booking class on Expedia to avoid "Saver Lite" which will come with no baggage allowance?

Has anyone booked VA domestic flights with Expedia and gotten stuck in 'Saver Lite'?

VA are to remove "saver light" fare for all but Trans Tasman operation (Australia/New Zealand) from March 17th

When are you planning on Booking/travelling - if booked on/after that date then there should be 'll be no confusion.

(If booking a saver-light fare before then, for travel after that date, indications are that checked luggage will be still NOT be included in the fare.)

I'll be flying in late April, so it sounds like I don't need to worry about 'Saver Lite'. Thanks!

The Expedia Australian site will usually annotate whether the Virgin fare included baggage or not.
