In recent news, Shanghai Airlines beginning their maiden direct flight service to Bali. Now Chinese tourists can fly directly to and from Bali on an estimated 5.5 hour flight. With great enthusiasm for Bali as a new destination for this market and most importantly we would now begin to recommend Bali to the market. Whilst Garuda Indonesia adds Sydney - Bali Flight to Meet Growing Demand. More Australia-Bali flights is now available to meet demand of the visitors. With Australian arrivals still lagging some 30% behind numbers recorded during the heydays of the tourist boom just 3 years ago, improving year-on-year arrivals have prompted Garuda Indonesia to increase seat capacity with a new Wednesday flight from Sydney to Bali, effective June 20, 2007. The new flight, GA 717 brings the total number of Garuda Indonesia services between Sydney and Bali to five non-stop flights per week with departures daily, except Tuesday and Friday. GA 717 departs on Wednesday mid-morning at 10:00 a.m. arriving in Bali mid-afternoon at 2:35 p.m. Inbound to Australia, GA 716 allows holidaymakers to maximize their holiday time in Bali, departing in the early hours of Wednesday morning at 1:00 a.m. and arriving the same day at 0830hrs in Sydney (schedule is subject to changes without prior notice). Currently Garuda Indonesia has the greatest number of non-stop flights to Bali, serving Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Darwin. |
