Additional flights – to be announced
Now that conditions are improving, we are reviewing options for additional flights from Bali to Australia to get our passengers moving as soon as possible. Any additional flights will be subject to clear flying conditions and local approvals. To travel on these services, please follow the steps below:
How do I book my return flight to Australia if I'm in Bali?
If you have NOT rebooked yourself to travel on a new flight after your flight from Bali was cancelled, we will automatically add you onto another flight back to Australia.
It is best to not make any changes to your original booking so that we can easily move you as additional flights become available.
If you HAVE rebooked yourself to travel on a new flight and would like to travel on an additional service we may schedule, you will need to register your original bookings details in our online Bali Flight Registration form.
Instructions:
1. Go to our online Bali Flight Registration form: https://ssl.jetstar.com/id/en/customer-service-portal/general-feedback
2. Fill out your contact information and original Booking Reference number
3. If multiple customers purchased their original tickets together under the same Booking Reference number, only one form needs to be completed for the group. If you have multiple passengers across multiple booking references, simply complete one form for all.
4. Ensure that you provide your original flight details (you do not need to complete 'Step 4: Attachments')
I've filled out the online form, what happens now?
Based on your original travel date we will endeavour to re-book customers from the oldest to most recent delay.
We will contact you as soon as possible via email and SMS with your new flight information on the next available service in coming days.
To check the status of your new flight, please refer to the Flight Status page on Jetstar.com. Please don’t travel to Denpasar Airport unless your flight is scheduled to depart.
What if I'm in need of urgent medical assistance?
Please contact our Call Centre immediately on the numbers at end of this Travel Alert.
