Virgin Australia will today make history with the departure of its inaugural Canberra-Bali service, marking the airline’s first-ever international flight from the nation’s capital.
Virgin Australia return Canberra-Bali services will operate three times per week, adding more than 40,000 seats annually between Australia and the island hotspot. The new route will also further strengthen Virgin Australia’s extensive Bali network, which now offers more than half a million seats each year from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Canberra.
The service also enhances connectivity between Australia and Bali through convenient interstate connections via Canberra while also providing regional communities bordering the capital, including Batemans Bay, Bega, Cooma, Jindabyne and Merimbula, new options to holiday overseas without needing to travel via Sydney or Brisbane.
To celebrate, Virgin Australia has partnered with FINNS Beach Club, recognised as the world’s most popular beach club^ to bring a taste of Bali to Canberra Airport. Guests of the inaugural flight will receive complimentary FINNS’ daybed vouchers valued at $190 each, plus entertainment including live performances from the club’s iconic dancers.

The sale is available to book here until 11:59pm AEST next Friday 26 June 2026 (unless sold out prior), for selected travel dates between 28 July 2026 and 24 May 2027.
