Jetstar reward flights to Bali use a lower-priced table than other airlines serving the island. Prices start at 11,000 Qantas Points each way on the short Darwin route. Jetstar also provides the only nonstop points option from Perth.
Virgin Australia prices Economy at a fixed 22,500 Velocity Points one-way, with Business Class fixed at 49,500 points. Qantas reward seats start from 23,300 points in Economy from the East Coast.
Here is what the route costs from each part of Australia in 2026. We also compare the Velocity and Qantas options and explain how to build the balance for a family-sized booking.
What Bali costs in points from Australian cities in 2026
Bali reward seat prices vary by distance, which depends on the departure city. East Coast departures of roughly 2,700-2,900 flown miles fall in the 2,401-3,600 mile bands, while Perth at around 1,600 miles falls into the cheaper 1,201 to 2,400 mile band.
The table below compares one-way Business Class prices from the East Coast as of September 2026, per passenger, excluding taxes, fees, and carrier charges.
| Booking with points, East Coast to Bali | One-way Business Class |
| Velocity, Virgin Australia | 49,500 |
| Qantas Frequent Flyer, Jetstar Boeing 787 Business | 50,600 |
| Qantas Frequent Flyer, Qantas aircraft | 68,400 |
Economy is fixed at 22,500 Velocity Points on Virgin Australia and 23,300 Qantas Points on Qantas aircraft. Jetstar uses a lower-priced table.
The Velocity path on Virgin Australia
Velocity offers a straightforward option to Bali because Virgin Australia flies the route itself and prices it on the short-haul international chart. Economy Reward Seats have a fixed price for each zone on this chart at 22,500 points one-way, and Business Class is fixed at 49,500 points.
Virgin Australia’s Bali network includes Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Canberra. Canberra joined the network in mid-2026. Taxes, fees and carrier charges are quoted at booking, with Virgin Australia’s published one-way ranges running from $43.33 to $342.97 in Economy and $101.28 to $335.37 in Business Class.
Note that Virgin Australia international Business Class does not include lounge access. You can earn Velocity Points through top Velocity Points-earning credit cards and the bank currencies that transfer into Velocity.
The Qantas and Jetstar path
Qantas Bali pricing is covered in detail in the Point Hacks Bali guide, from the 2,401-3,600 mile band of its Classic Flight Reward tables at 23,300 points one-way in Economy and 68,400 in Business Class from the East Coast.
Neither Qantas nor Virgin Australia flies Perth to Denpasar nonstop as of September 2026, so the only West Coast points play is Jetstar, whose flights price from the lower 1,201-2,400 mile band of its own table. Families looking at Jetstar should also compare the cash component alongside the points price.
You can earn Qantas Points through the top Qantas Points-earning credit cards and the broader ways to earn Qantas Points.
How to build a Bali-sized balance quickly
A Bali booking is one of the most reachable targets in the points world, because a family of four in Economy needs 90,000 Velocity Points one way from the East Coast. In many cases, that is a single-card bonus rather than years of earning. The math still deserves a second look before anything transfers.
- Warning: pricing a family booking is a multi-step calculation. The per-passenger rule determines the total
- Multiply the per-seat price by every traveller aged 2 and over, since reward pricing applies per passenger. Four East Coast Economy seats need 90,000 Velocity Points or 93,200 Qantas Points one-way
- Double the one-way total for the return trip. Then add taxes, fees and carrier charges for every seat in both directions
- Check the flown miles for your departure city before selecting a reward band. The East Coast and Perth sit in different zones. Check the carrier map as well. As of September 2026, Jetstar is the only one of these airlines flying nonstop from Perth to Denpasar
Points held while a family saves need to remain active. Qantas Points expire after 18 months without eligible activity, while Velocity Points expire after 24 months. The rules across programs are compared in the points expiry policies round up.
Bank currencies provide another option, because flexible balances can be transferred to the program with available seats once your travel dates are confirmed. Periodic transfer bonuses into the airline programs add a margin to conversions for those who time the move.
Frequently asked questions
As of September 2026, from the East Coast, Virgin Australia is 49,500 Velocity Points one-way, compared to 50,600 points for Jetstar’s Boeing 787 Business Class cabin and 68,400 Qantas Points on Qantas aircraft. The Virgin Australia price is the floor for a full-service Business Class cabin on the route.
No. Bali prices come from Virgin Australia’s short-haul international chart, where Economy has a single fixed price per zone at 22,500 points one-way from the East Coast, and Business Class is 49,500 points. Virgin Australia’s domestic Economy Reward Seats are priced within a demand-based range, so a Sydney to Melbourne seat can cost more on one date than another, while the Bali price does not move.
Yes, from age 2 in both major programs, so a family booking pays the adult rate for every seat. Infants under 2 who don’t occupy a seat travel without a points charge on a Qantas reward booking, though taxes and charges still apply. The same per-passenger rule applies on Jetstar’s table, where the lower Economy prices multiply across a family fastest.
At 50,600 points from the East Coast it prices above Virgin Australia’s 49,500 point Business Class seat. The cabin, offered only on Boeing 787 services, sits closer to Premium Economy than to a full flat bed product. It suits a traveller whose dates only show Jetstar availability rather than a first choice. From Perth, where neither Qantas nor Virgin Australia flies nonstop as of September 2026, Jetstar is the one nonstop carrier bookable through these tables.
