First Australian Airlines Bali flights sold out
All seats on Australian Airlines' inaugural flights to Bali on June 27 and July 4 have been sold, according to the airline.
And the carrier claims only a "handful of seats" remain on its inaugural service to the Malaysian state of Sabah on Borneo island on June 29, and also on the following two flights.
Acting ceo Andrea Staines said the "response to these flights was justification for the airline’s decision to launch regular services to the destinations and also great news for tourism in Bali and Sabah".
Non-stop services to Bali from Sydney and on to Singapore three times a week begin on July 25.
Services between Sydney and Sabah start on June 29 followed by services between Cairns and Sabah via Singapore on July 30.
