Air New Zealand has resumed its thrice-weekly, non-stop services to Bali, Indonesia after a three-year COVID-induced hiatus. The airline will ramp up the service on the popular route to five-weekly during the busy winter schedule and school holiday period between June 26, 2023 and July 30,2023.
The airline will deploy a B787-9 Dreamliner on the route along with a complimentary meal, inflight entertainment and checked bag across all cabins.
“Bali is one of our most popular routes, with more than 17,000 customers welcomed onboard our Air New Zealand aircraft bound for Denpasar in 2019 alone,” said Leanne Geraghty, Chief Customer and Sales Officer, Air New Zealand. “It’s fantastic to be back flying non-stop services to Bali, a destination that suits every type of traveller whether it’s customers keen to escape the cold to the tropical beaches, families keen for adventure or couples looking for a romantic, peaceful getaway. This is the last of all our international and seasonal routes to get up and running again post Covid, so this certainly shows we are bouncing back.”
Bookings for Bali have been strong since the airline announced it would fly non-stop to the destination again, with over 10,000 seats sold in the first week. July is the most popular month for Bali holidaymakers, with 8,500 customers booked to travel as holidaymakers look to escape winter for the school holidays.
