Trinomial varieties are affine varieties given by a system of equations consisting of polynomials with three terms. Such varieties are total coordinate spaces of normal varieties with torus action of complexity one. For an affine variety $X$ we consider the subgroup $\mathrm{SAut}(X)$ of the automorphism group generated by all algebraic subgroups isomorphic to the additive group of the ground field. By definition, an affine variety is flexible if $\mathrm{SAut}(X)$ acts transitively on its regular locus. Gaifullin proved a sufficient condition for a trinomial hypersurface to be flexible. We give a generalization of his results, proving a sufficient condition to be flexible for an arbitrary trinomial variety.
