Like many Darwin people I have been travelling to Bali since 1972. Number one reason many people used to travel to Bali was because it was cheaper to fly to Bali than any southern city.
Since Tiger Airlines started operating out of Darwin many people who previous spent their holidays in Bali now fly to Singapore and then onto other Asian locations, which is a lot cheaper than flying to Bali.
I have family in Bali so still visit a couple of times a year using Frequent Flyers (only need 24,000 pts), but I must admit that now I can fly to Singapore for half the cost of flying to Bali I am more tempted to see other Asian locations.
