The ash cloud hanging over Indonesia has improved, allowing Australian airlines to resume limited flights out of Bali, to the relief of stranded travellers.
Virgin says four of its flights will depart Bali's Denpasar Airport for Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide on Monday, with some having earlier take-off times than previously scheduled.
The conditions allow "limited flying during daylight hours" only, and Virgin cancelled one Denpasar to Melbourne flight and all of its flights into Bali on Monday.
People with Virgin tickets to Bali are able to transfer these to alternative holiday destinations.
Jetstar will have five flights out of Denpasar on Monday, and it is prioritising those passengers who have been waiting the longest.
