March 30, 2026 -- Jetstar’s first new direct service connecting the Sunshine Coast and Bali began today – and with a seamless onward connection to Singapore, it has never been easier or more affordable for travellers to reach Asia from the Sunny Coast.
The low-cost carrier’s first inbound flight from Bali landed into Maroochydore this morning before picking up hundreds of passengers for the inaugural service from the Sunshine Coast to the Indonesian holiday hotspot.
The aircraft will stop in Bali for around 90 minutes before continuing onto Singapore and arrive in time for dinner. During the stop in Bali, passengers continuing to Singapore will not need to recheck their baggage.
The Lion City offers onward flight connections to global destinations across Qantas’s extensive international and partner airline network.
Jetstar is the first carrier to ever offer flights between the Sunshine Coast, Bali and Singapore as part of its commitment to providing more choice and affordability so customers can takeoff more for less.
New more comfortable aircraft
Jetstar will operate the new route three times a week using its next generation Airbus A321LR aircraft. Quieter and more fuel-efficient, these 232-seat aircraft lift the bar for low-cost comfort, featuring:
· larger overhead storage bins
· in-seat USB power
· seat back device holders for smartphones and tablets
· LED lighting to provide improved comfort
· And access to stream Jetstar Entertainment+.
Sale fares
To mark this important occasion, Jetstar is offering one-way sale fares from midday (AEDT) today from Sunshine Coast to Bali from $209^ and from Sunshine Coast to Singapore from $249^ at jetstar.com.
