An Indonesian ash cloud continues to cause havoc for Aussie travellers with all flights to and from Bali cancelled on Monday.

Conditions are deemed unsafe to fly, disrupting plans for thousands of holidaymakers.

Virgin Australia and Jetstar cancelled all Monday services to and from Bali, including Jetstar's previous limited daylight flights.

On Sunday the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre informed the airlines that conditions around Denpasar Airport may improve during the day, allowing limited flying during daylight hours.

A lucky few travellers managed to make the trip home from Bali on Sunday.

Virgin Australia has also cancelled all flights for Tuesday while Jetstar says it will provide an update on Monday evening.

Both airlines have offered passengers booked to fly to Bali the option of travelling to alternative holiday spots.

The ash cloud has been caused by the nearby Mount Rinaji volcano.
