Budget Bali holidays are BACK: Jetstar launches a MASSIVE sale with fares from just $99 and Covid rules are on the way out – but you’d better be quick
- Aussies will be able to fly to holiday destination Bali from early April
- Jetstar are offering a cheap $99 one way airfare to the island
- The Indonesian government is reportedly considering scrapping quarantine
- Bali has been badly impacted by Covid as the island relies heavily on tourism
Jetstar has announced a flight sale to Bali from seven Australian cities, as the Indonesian resort island looks to eliminate Covid quarantine rules.
The sale began at 9pm on Thursday for flights from April 8, with fares ranging from $99 to $125, and will end at 11:59pm on Friday.
Ross Taylor from the Indonesia Institute said quarantine rules still apply but could be gone this month as Omicron cases fall.

‘The good news is that our “insiders” tell us that the Indonesian government is wanting to eliminate any quarantine requirement,’ he told The West Australian.
Under current restrictions in Indonesia, arrivals with three shots have to quarantine for three days, while those with two shots need to quarantine for five days.
Taylor noted that Australians entering the country also need to apply for a visa prior to departure, but adds that Indonesia is now looking to bring back ‘Visa-on-Arrival’.

Ross Taylor from the Indonesia Institute told The West Australian that holidaygoers will still need to follow quarantine rules upon arrival, but says the government is considering scrapping rules in March
Aussies have been locked out of Indonesia for the past two years due to travel restrictions brought about by the Covid pandemic.
Indonesia, and especially Bali, has been severely impacted by the pandemic as the island nation’s economy relies heavily on tourism dollars.
More than 70 per cent of Balinese residents work in tourism. The industry accounts for 52 per cent of the island’s GDP.
At least 90% of tourism-related businesses and restaurants at the island have shut their doors due to the miniscule number of international arrivals over the past two years – with just 45 overseas visitors reportedly holidaying at the island in 2021.
Many resorts have closed during the pandemic to renovate and refurbish.
