How much does it cost to fly to Bali

Let's see how much tickets cost to Bali (Denpasar) departing from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and other cities of Russia. There are no direct flights to Bali from Russian cities; you will have to fly with transfers.

Roundtrip ticket prices

• Where is the cheapest way to fly to Bali from Russia? Minimum price tickets can be found for departures from Irkutsk and Vladivostok - from 26 thousand rubles (these are S7 flights together with Cathay Pacific with connections in Hong Kong, which, by the way, can be visited without a visa). Tickets from 30 thousand can sometimes be found from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
• Fly to Bali from Moscowusually more expensive. Usually tickets cost from 40 thousand, but sometimes you can find and from 34 thousand rubles. The best deals are most often found with Qatar with a connection in Doha (usually not very long) or Thai Airways (via Bangkok).
• Bali tickets from St. Petersburg cost from 38 thousand rubles. The flight is usually carried out with two transfers (for example, in Istanbul and Singapore).

Current prices for round-trip tickets

Travel accommodation. Compare hotel prices using Roomguru.ru - convenient filters will help you find the best option. It is better to look for apartments, rooms, houses and villas on the popular Airbnb - there is a large selection of private accommodation.

Fly to Bali for a promotion

From time to time you can catch the most interesting promotions for flights to Bali.

• Sometimes some airlines have special offers, and you can fly to Bali from Moscow and St. Petersburg for only 30 thousand rubles or even less. Such promotions, as a rule, are arranged by Arab airlines, China Southern, Thai Airways.
• And there are quite budget options when you can fly to Asia even for 16 thousand rubles! But these are no longer promotions, but erroneous tariffs. They appear extremely rarely.

And now a little more about the last option. For example, Etihad Airways often has erroneous fares on Open-jaw (fork routes), when tickets are bought round-trip, but the departure and return cities are different. Once there was an opportunity to buy tickets to Asian countries with a departure from Moscow and return to Milan for only 16,000 rubles. There were no tickets to Bali, but for 16 thousand rubles. it was possible to fly to Jakarta, and already from it it is cheap to get to Bali on local low-cost airlines (more on that later). This is what I understand the journey: within one trip, visit the capital and the largest city of Indonesia, then relax in Bali, and then visit Milan as well - and all this is cheaper than a regular ticket to Bali!

Complex routes, as in the example above, can be built on Aviasales.

We write about interesting promotions, special offers and erroneous fares in the news section - stay tuned for them to be able to buy cheap tickets.

How to get to Bali the cheapest way

Well, now let's move on to the most interesting - to the analysis of options for how to get to Bali with minimal costs (and in combination, the most interesting and adventurous).

You will need to fly in two approaches:

1. First, we catch a lucrative offer from Moscow or another city somewhere in Southeast Asia.
2. Then we cover the rest of the way to Bali by low-cost airlines (in combination with buses / boats / helicopters / .. if required).

With the right approach, skill and luck, it will be possible to fly to Bali on an extremely budgetary basis.

Stage 1: Fly to Asia

As for the first segment of our trip, most often you can find good deals on flights to Bangkok (read about how to fly to Thailand cheaply), Ho Chi Minh City (how to get to Vietnam), Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong. By the way, Russians can fly to all these cities without a visa! Cheap tickets can be found to other cities in the region, but the probability is lower.

The examples show prices for a round trip.

• We fly to Thailand... For example, tickets Moscow - Bangkok and back can be found from 20 thousand rubles. If you catch a stock, then it is another 10% cheaper, and if you catch an erroneous tariff, then it is 20-50% cheaper. From Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, Irkutsk you can fly to the capital of Thailand and back from 22 thousand. From St. Petersburg - from 23 thousand. We, who want to fly to Bali inexpensively, benefit from the fact that summer in Thailand is off-season (and vice versa in Bali) therefore tickets to Thailand are cheaper than in winter.
• IN Kuala Lumpur from Moscow you can fly from 24 thousand rubles, to Jakarta - from 26 thousand. And from these cities to get to Bali is the cheapest.
• Quite cheaply from Russia you can fly to Hong Kong: from Vladivostok - from 12 thousand, from Moscow - from 21 thousand, from St. Petersburg - from 23 thousand

Check the cost of tickets for different flight routes on the search engine Aviasales.

Stage 2: Low-cost airlines to Bali

A large number of low-cost airlines fly in Asia, which allows you to move from one country to another and fly within one state for mere pennies.

One of the most popular (and cheapest) low-cost airlines is Air Asia - this airline allows you to fly to Bali from various countries and cities (Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Korea, China, India, Cambodia, etc.). Also pay attention to airlines Tigerair (the best deals for flights from Singapore), Lion air (cheap to fly from cities in Indonesia), Wings air, Garuda Indonesia.

It is more convenient to search for tickets for low-cost airlines on the desired route on Aviasales - this service has a large database of Asian low-cost airlines, so it is easy to find the cheapest options.

The examples below show the cost per one way flight.

Here's a look at how cheap you can get to Bali from Jakarta on Lion Air flights and from Kuala Lumpur on AirAsia flights (for less than $ 40):

Inexpensive tickets to Bali (from $ 50 and above) can also be purchased from Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, and the Philippines. Somewhat more expensive (from $ 90) you can fly from Hong Kong, China, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, South Korea.

If you are lucky to buy tickets during the Air Asia or other low-cost airlines' promotions, it will be even cheaper to fly to Bali.

An example of a cheap flight to Bali

I will give an example of how you can fly to Bali cheaply using the above scheme.

1. First, we fly from Moscow to Kuala Lumpur (the capital of Malaysia is a pleasant city, it is worth visiting) for 24 thousand rubles (round trip).
2. You can fly to Bali from Kuala Lumpur and return back for only 4300 rubles.

The total cost of the flight to Bali and back was 28,300 rubles per person. And as we found out at the beginning of the review, the cheapest tickets from Moscow to Bali are now 34 thousand rubles, and more often their cost starts from 40 thousand. So we win at least 6000 rubles per person - we will save money and even visit the capital of Malaysia! Here is such arithmetic, sleight of hand and no fraud.

All flights from our example are joined and there is time to walk around Kuala Lumpur: see the skyscrapers, enjoy the local cuisine.
