Flights from Cairns to Denpasar: direct service, timing and schedules

Flights from Cairns to Denpasar connect Cairns Airport (CNS) with Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS). As of October 2026, Jetstar is identified as the only airline operating non-stop flights on the route, while published schedules differ on frequency, so travellers must check the date-specific timetable before flying.

Are there direct flights from Cairns to Denpasar?

Yes. FlightConnections lists Jetstar as the only airline operating non-stop flights from Cairns to Denpasar, according to its schedule updated in October 2026. It identifies the destination airport as Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Momondo also identifies Jetstar as the only airline offering direct flights, according to information updated on October 27, 2026. Its listing says direct services operate on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

How long is the flight?

FlightConnections gives the fastest direct flight time as 4 hours and 45 minutes, according to its October 2026 schedule. It lists the route distance as 2,131 miles (3,430 kilometres).

Airportia’s record for Jetstar flight JQ90 gives a scheduled duration of 4 hours and 40 minutes and an average duration of 4 hours and 28 minutes, based on its page updated October 28, 2026. The difference reflects the source’s flight-history calculation rather than a different route.

How often do flights operate?

Published schedules are not identical. FlightConnections says the route operates twice a week as of October 2026, while Momondo says two flights are operational daily in October 2026.

Airportia lists JQ90 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with arrival at Denpasar International Airport Terminal I, according to its October 28, 2026 flight record. These differences mean availability depends on the travel date and the schedule in force.

Which airports and flight codes apply?

The route runs from Cairns Airport, coded CNS, to Denpasar’s Ngurah Rai International Airport, coded DPS. FlightConnections lists Jetstar flight JQ90 among the direct-service details, while Airportia records the same service under JQ90.

Airportia recorded a scheduled October 28, 2026 departure from Cairns at 19:15 and arrival in Denpasar at 21:55. Those times are local airport times shown for that flight date and are not a timetable for every day.

What should travellers check before departure?

The route’s frequency and departure times vary between published schedule pages. A date-specific airline or airport timetable is therefore the relevant check for whether a non-stop service is available on a particular journey.
