Jetstar had also resumed flights, and said all Saturday flights to Denpasar were set to go ahead. However, a spokesman also added: "Volcanic activity is unpredictable, so please be aware that conditions can change rapidly. We will update you immediately if there is any change to our schedule." The airline is also working on scheduling some relief flights out of Bali over the weekend to get as many people back to Australia as possible during the busy school holiday period. "Please bear in mind there is a backlog of customers waiting to fly so it may take several days before you are booked on a flight," a spokesman said. The volcano’s alert level remained high on Friday and tourists were warned to stay away from the area.

The exclusion zone around the volcano is four kilometres, with locals being told to prepare their face masks as the threat of a full-scale eruption looms. Authorities said there had been tremors throughout the afternoon. Newlyweds Kestrelle and Ben Johnston were finally set to fly out for their Bali honeymoon on Saturday morning. The Melbourne couple, who were married in April, have had their Bali honeymoon booked for months and were set to jet out at 7am. Their plans had been thrown into doubt on Friday after scores of flights between Australia and Bali were cancelled or turned back due to ash from the eruption of Mount Agung.

"I haven't heard anything directly from the airline," said Ms Johnston, a school registrar. "I'm just stressed. We so need a holiday, and we were really looking forward to it," she said.

"We will be pretty devastated if it's cancelled, especially since our flight is at 7am, so we will have to check it all night to see if we bother going to the airport." The pair are no strangers to having their holiday schedule thrown into chaos by cancelled flights, with Mr Johnston's proposal plans thwarted by a cancelled Jetstar flight in March last year.

Denpasar's Ngurah Rai International Airport was closed at 5am Friday, leading to dozens of cancelled flights. Australians holidaying on the Indonesian island extended their trips at the last minute as the volcanic ash cloud made it almost impossible to fly in and out. Katie and Matt Dower were meant to return to Melbourne overnight with their two daughters, Adelie, 6, and Lisette, 4, after a two-week getaway.

But their Jetstar flight was one of scores of flights between Australia and Bali cancelled or turned back due to ash from the eruption. Ms Dower said the family was forced to book another hotel. "We have been here since June 13 so we were ready to come home," she said. "[I've] got my tan and had my cocktails. We're not worried ... but we will just find it hard to get back into relax mode because we don't know when we can get out." Loading

The 37-year-old said while the family had travel insurance it excluded any volcano-related incidents since it began erupting last year, because it is considered a known risk. "Jestar will get us home but accommodation, food and incidentals are all on us," she said. Marcia Adam and Kerry Mulgrew are set to fly home to Melbourne Friday night, however they aren’t worried if their plane doesn’t end up taking off. “I can’t say I’m sad," Ms Adams said. “Another day or two in Bali, I can’t really complain.” Marcia Adams and Kerry Mulgrew are prepared to extend their stay in Bali if they can't fly.

Brooke Pye, and her mother Natalie, had booked a 10.30pm flight back to Sydney with Jetstar. Brooke, 18, was worried that if she misses her flight her job may be at risk. Brooke’s shift as a retail worker starts within hours of her scheduled arrival at Sydney Airport on Saturday morning. “I only started working there two weeks ago and they have a busy event on that I have to be there for,” she said. “I really don’t want to lose my job ... I was tossing up on if I would come on holiday.”

Brooke Pye and her mum Natalie fear they will be stranded in Bali. Natalie has been following updates on the volcano closely. "You hear so many things," she said. "I’ve heard that it’s probably the worst it’s ever been and I’ve heard that it’s just a small thing, so we just don’t know."

Several Jetstar flights, including routes between Denpasar and Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide and Cairns, were cancelled on Thursday night, with another nine cancelled on Friday morning. "Due to volcanic ash cloud caused by Mount Agung in Bali, it is currently not safe to operate flights to or from Denpasar Airport," Jetstar said in a statement. Qantas turned back two Bali-bound flights departing from Melbourne and Sydney, and delayed two more due to depart Denpasar amid fears the ash could affect the aircraft engines. "Volcanic ash around the island of Bali following the eruption of Mt Agung means it is currently not safe to operate flights to and from Denpasar Airport," a Qantas statement said.
