Volcano in Indonesia and DPS flights
Volcanic activity is affecting DPS flights. May well affect anything passing over Indonesia in coming days / weeks.

Looks like the airlines may consider DPS flights if this arvo's assessment is positive. Winds tending to the north may continue to help (as far as Bali is cncerned). BUT, I'm not in any flight ops department so this is pure speculation on my behalf.
Good news for long hauls in that there is no reference to ash above FL180.
