Getting to Bali

Find the cheapest flights to Bali

Bali's Ngurah Rai airport connects to most major hubs. Here's when to book, which routes save you the most, and how to search all airlines in one go.

Flights are usually your biggest upfront cost. Book right and you can save hundreds — book wrong and you'll pay double for the same seat. Here's what actually works.

When to book

  • Book 6–10 weeks out for the best prices from most origins
  • High season (July–August, Christmas–New Year) books up fast — go earlier
  • Shoulder season (April–May, September–October) has the best fare-to-weather ratio
  • Set a price alert and book the moment it drops, not when you feel ready

Cheapest routes to Bali

Most travellers connect through Singapore (SIN), Kuala Lumpur (KUL), or Doha (DOH). Direct flights exist from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and a handful of Asian hubs — but for most Europeans and Americans, a single stop is the norm.

  • UK / Europe → Singapore or KL → Bali (Singapore Airlines, AirAsia, Qatar Airways)
  • Australia → Direct on Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin (Sydney & Melbourne)
  • USA → Connect in Tokyo, Seoul or Singapore — ANA, Korean Air, Singapore Airlines
  • Middle East → Doha or Dubai → Bali (Qatar Airways, Emirates)

Search tip

Search for 'DPS' (Denpasar Ngurah Rai) rather than 'Bali' — some flight engines miss results when you use the city name. Flexible dates view will show you the cheapest day to fly in a single calendar.

Common questions

What airport does Bali have?

Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), about 15 minutes from Seminyak and 45 minutes from Canggu depending on traffic. Grab is the easiest and cheapest way out of the airport.

How long is the flight?

Around 14–16 hours from London (with a stop), 6 hours from Sydney, 18–22 hours from the US east coast. Bali is worth every hour.

Is Bali worth a long-haul flight?

For a nomad planning to stay months rather than weeks — absolutely. The cost of living, quality of life and the community here more than justify the journey.
