This new flight offers the best connectivity between Brisbane and Kuala Lumpur since Malaysia Airlines dropped the route in August 2015.
New price competition
Fares between Brisbane and Bali are already decent with incumbents Virgin Australia and Jetstar competing on the route. Adding Malindo to the mix will introduce some healthy new competition. Promo fairs from Brisbane to Bali are pricing up at an extremely competitive mid-AUD 360 range for Easter flights. Flights going all the way to Kuala Lumpur are around AUD 470 for the same period. So if you haven’t yet made plans for Easter, act now! Flights are open for bookings at malindoair.com.
