In Reply to: Bris to Bali flights posted by balibubba on Thursday, 20. October 2011 at 17:59 Bali Time:
Virgin fly direct and I have generaly paid $700-$800 return.
Occasionally you might get some cheaper prices with Virgin, but very rarely.
I have booked 7 return tickets to Bali from 31St December 2011-22nnd January 2012 for $679 each with Strategic.
Considering the time of year we are flying this is an excellent price!
I booked these flights in February but as late as 4 weeks ago a friend booked the same flight for the same price.
Since our booking Strategic have now increased their flights from Brisbane to 4 times a week but they are now going via Darwin for a 90 minute fuel stop and the return flight back is direct to Brisbane.
I don't mind this short stop over because as I have got older I realise it is quite difficult for a plane to stay airbourne if it is out of fuel?
I certainly would not entertain flying with Jetstar via Darwin no matter how cheap they are, their flight times and long stop overs are terrible.
Hope this helps
