🚨Announcement alert: Gold Coast Airport now offers direct flights to Bali! The Australian-based airline, Virgin Australia, now flies directly into Denpasar Airport, for as low as $410.00 when planned a month before.🚨
With Gold Coast Airport’s recent international terminal renovations encompassing 3 stories and brand-new departure lounges paired now with Gold Coast to Bali direct flights, there is no shortage of improvements being done as part of the 500 million dollar renovations.
$260 million of that will be allocated to GCA's Southern Terminal as it will be expanded to accommodate more passengers, restaurants, and retail locations.
Additionally, the Southern Terminal will be refurbished within the departure precinct to include enhancements in wayfinding, electronic departure boards, seating, and children-friendly features like playgrounds. These renovations are designed to create a more modern, efficient facility and travel process.
Due to the renovations of the GCA infrastructure, certain facilities will be closed or be under construction. Flyparks recommends passengers to arrive at least 3 hours in advance for international flights.
While you will still find indirect flights operating out of Gold Coast to Bali by airlines like Singapore Airways, Jetstar Airways, Scoot, and Batik Air, they will not fly directly and will typically have stops in Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney with overall flight durations of 10 - 12 hours.
Virgin Australia, however, is the only airline offering direct flights from Gold Coast Airport at such an affordable rate, with a direct trip of 6 hours and 30 minutes.
It's worth mentioning that Gold Coast to Bali direct flights with Virgin will also offer you Virgin Australia Lounge access for those who are Velocity Platinum, Gold & partner airline status members.
Not a member? Not to worry. Travellers can still purchase a single-entry ticket for $65.00 to enjoy the benefits of the lounge, up to 2 hours before their flight departure.
