August 7, 2025 -- To celebrate new direct flights between the Gold Coast and Bali launching this evening, Jetstar is holding a 24-hour flash sale for Gold Coasters to take off to the popular Indonesian island for $215 one way^.
The new route makes Jetstar the first low-cost carrier to operate non-stop flights between the Gold Coast and Bali – one of Australia’s favourite international holiday destinations. Sale fares are available from 10am today (AEST) at jetstar.com until sold out.
Operating three times a week, the service will add more than 58,000 low fare seats between the Gold Coast and Bali each year. The flights are operated by Jetstar’s newest aircraft, the quieter and more fuel-efficient Airbus A320neo – two of which are now based on the Gold Coast, expanding Jetstar’s local fleet to six aircraft.
The launch of direct flights to Bali comes as part of Jetstar’s June expansion of Gold Coast flying - including recently launched new routes to Hamilton, Dunedin and Darwin - and further strengthening the airline’s position as the largest carrier operating in and out of the Gold Coast.
Jetstar’s Executive Manager, Customer, Jenn Armor, said the new route provided even more international choice for Gold Coast customers.
“We’ve seen strong demand from customers living on the Gold Coast for direct international travel options including recent trans-Tasman route launches to Hamilton and Dunedin.

“It’s clear Australians just can’t get enough of Bali, so we’re excited to launch direct flights from the Gold Coast to this beautiful Indonesian holiday island, allowing customers to take off more for less.
“We’re already the biggest carrier on the Gold Coast and this new route is another key step in offering even more choice and low fares for our Gold Coast customers.
Queensland Airports Limited Chief Commercial Officer Adam Rowe said the new route would provide greater choice for travellers on an already much-loved route.
“Bali has long been a favourite destination for Australians, and now it’s even easier not just for Gold Coasters, but also for travellers from Northern New South Wales to escape to the island – whether it’s to catch an amazing surf break, unwind at a yoga retreat, or simply to recharge and enjoy Bali’s relaxed pace of life,” said Mr Rowe.
“More than 70,000 people travel between the two destinations each year, which is why we’re excited to offer our community even more choice when planning their next holiday.”
“We’re proud to work alongside Jetstar as they continue to invest in the Gold Coast. Together, we have a shared focus on growing our network to meet rising demand.”
