It’s the tropical news South Aussies have been waiting for — more ways to escape to Bali without the hassle of multiple stopovers or scrambling for a rare seat on limited flights. For years, flying Adelaide to Bali direct has been a bit of a pain, with only a few direct services offered by Jetstar and Virgin. But all that’s about to change, and just in time for winter escape planning!
Indonesia AirAsia has officially announced it will begin direct flights between Adelaide and Denpasar from June 25, marking a big win for South Australian holidaymakers. With four flights a week, this new route will provide more flexibility, better flight times, and budget-friendly prices that make a Bali escape even more tempting.
And the best part? Flights start at just $199 one way. Yes, you read that right!
More Flights, More Freedom
The schedule is designed with convenience in mind. Departing Adelaide at 11:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, the overnight flight gets you into Bali just in time to start your beach day. The return leg leaves Denpasar at 7:50am local time on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, meaning you can squeeze every last minute out of your trip before heading home.
It’s a game-changer for anyone who’s had to juggle inconvenient connections or pay a premium for a direct seat. For families, solo travellers, and groups alike, this added option means less time in transit and more time sipping cocktails in Seminyak or exploring Ubud’s rice terraces.

This new Indonesia AirAsia route doesn’t just make Bali more accessible — it opens the door to a world of travel across Southeast Asia.
From Bali, travellers can connect seamlessly to popular destinations like Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket, and beyond. With AirAsia’s extensive network, South Aussies can now enjoy affordable, one- or two-stop options to Japan, Korea, India, and other exciting locations.

Adelaide Airport Managing Director Brenton Cox summed it up perfectly:
Bali is the most popular destination for South Australian travellers, and there is significant pent-up demand for flights at affordable prices.
He also highlighted the importance of having a low-cost Asia-based carrier in Adelaide again — the first since 2015.
With more than 74,000 visitors expected annually through Adelaide Airport thanks to this new service, it’s clear the appetite for Bali isn’t going anywhere. And now, it’s about to get a whole lot easier (and cheaper!) to answer the call of Bintangs and beach clubs.
