The first direct flight from Guangzhou to Bali has been launched by Shenzhen Airlines.
The flight is scheduled to take off from Guangzhou every Tuesday and Friday at 20:00, and to return from Bali each Wednesday and Saturday at 1:50.
Before this, it took more than 12 hours to fly from Guangzhou to Bali with a transfer at Jakarta. Now it only takes five hours to get to the Island of the Gods. As a result, Chinese travel agencies are now promoting new tour packages with prices 20%-30% lower than before.
