I note Air Asia is starting flights from Darwin - Bali, and connect on to the rest of asia.
I picked a random date and compared with Jetstar, Air Asia $70 AUD Bali Darwin
Jetstar on the same day $189.
Air asia Bali Singapore $80 AUD. This should liven up the market.
So Darwin Bali $70 each way
Bali to Phuket $115 return
three flights Bali - Singapore $80 each way. Other destination ex Bali include jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok. They sent me an email a few days ago advertising Kuala Lumpur - Paris $163 AUD.
If you look at their established routes and they maintain these ridiculously low fares.
The world’s best low-cost airline is now flying Darwin to Bali. And we are so excited about delivering Top End service, we are offering a great launch fare from AUD99. So, like 100 million passengers have done before, you can now grab low cost, high quality airfares to Bali, then even springboard from Bali to KL, Singapore, Bandung, Jakarta, Phuket or Bangkok.
Darwin, a new gateway to Bali and beyond.
They quote $100 AUD here, however when I checked it was $70 including taxes, either way, a good deal.
