Flights
We encourage you to secure flights as early as possible. There are currently direct flights available on Garuda Airlines for around $1500 including taxes and Jetstar for around $1000 but at much less convenient times. We believe that these airfares are the cheapest they will be and that these flights are the most convenient by far, taking only approximately 5 hours from Melbourne to Den Pasar. So we recommend that you book your airfare online or through your travel agent as soon as possible.
