Virgin Australia announces extra flights to Bali

Virgin Australia today announced that it will add an extra six flights per week to Denpasar, Bali from Australia’s east coast to support growing demand.

From 19 December 2013, the airline will add an extra weekly service from Brisbane, two extra services from Sydney and a further three weekly services from Melbourne. The new flights will be timed to complement existing services and will add over 1,000 extra seats to Bali per week, providing even more choice to travellers.

Virgin Australia Chief Commercial Officer Judith Crompton said: “Today’s announcement demonstrates our commitment to adapting our schedule to meet the demand of travellers.

“Bali is one of Australia’s most popular international leisure destinations, visited by over 2.8 million Australians each year. By adding more than 1,000 seats per week, we will be able to support increased demand to this region.

“We have also invested in a number of product and service enhancements on our services to and from Bali, to enhance the travel experience for our customers. We are now pleased to offer inclusive hot meals and choice of beverages and, by the end of the year, our innovative new wireless in-flight entertainment system will be available on all flights to and from Bali”, Ms Crompton said.

The flights will be operated by Virgin Australia’s 176-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft offering Business and Economy class.

Virgin Australia’s new in-flight entertainment system allows guests to download a free app prior to their flight to stream hundreds of hours of free entertainment to their own Wi-Fi enabled devices, including smartphones, laptops and tablets.
