The following airlines regularly fly from Moscow and St. Petersburg: Singapore Airlines; Qatar airways; Emirates; S7; Catay Pacific.

Most often, such tickets can be purchased from a tour operator who will warn you about all the pros and cons of a future trip. Travel time varies from 12 to 20 hours depending on the chosen airline.

From Jakarta

Jakarta is the capital and tourists who want to save money sometimes prefer to fly to Bali via. There are both negative and positive sides to this mode of transportation. Significant disadvantages - increased time spent on the road, several transfers, possible lack of tickets, fatigue upon arrival on the island. The positive aspects are that tickets will cost much cheaper and you can buy them on a promotional basis.

To Jakarta from Moscow and St. Petersburg get through: Dubai; Doha; Abu Dhabi; . All flights are operated by local airlines of the countries in which these cities are located. So, Emirates airliners run to Dubai, and Turkish Airlines to. Separately, it is worth noting the services provided by the Emirates carrier, which offers to buy a ticket that includes a flight to Jakarta and a flight to. At the same time, luggage is checked in immediately to Bali.

Between Jakarta and Bali, many low-cost flights Lion Air, Merpati, Air Asia and Garuda Indonesia fly daily. The ticket price is from 45 to 160 dollars in both directions. Tickets should be purchased directly on the websites of carriers, as information on Russian websites may be incomplete.

A direct flight from Singapore Airlines, which is considered one of the best among Asian air carriers, flies from Moscow to Moscow. Having made a change in for refueling, a comfortable plane will take you to your destination within 10 hours. The ticket price reaches about 70,000 rubles in both directions.

Fly to Bali with 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 are usually 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, erroneous fares often occur with Etihad Airways on Open-jaw (fork routes), when tickets are bought round-trip, but the city of departure and return are different. Once there was an opportunity to buy tickets to Asian countries with a departure from Moscow and a 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 from there it was cheap to get to Bali on local low-cost airlines (more on that later). This is what I mean by traveling: in one trip, visit the capital and largest city of Indonesia, then relax in Bali, and then also visit Milan - and all this is cheaper than a regular ticket to Bali!

Complex routes, as in the example above, can be built on both Skyscanner and .

We write about interesting promotions, special offers and erroneous fares in - follow them to be able to buy cheap tickets.

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), Ho Chi Minh City (), Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong. By the way, Russians can fly to all these cities without a visa! Cheap tickets can be found in other cities in the region, but the probability is lower.

The examples show prices for a round-trip flight.

• Flying to Thailand. For example, tickets Moscow - Bangkok and back can be found from 20 thousand rubles. If you catch a share, then it is 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 rubles. From St. Petersburg - from 23 thousand. We, who want to fly cheaply to Bali, benefit from the fact that summer is off-season in Thailand (and vice versa in Bali), so 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 rubles. 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 search engines and Skyscanner.

Stage 2: Low-cost carriers 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 AirAsia- this airline allows you to fly to Bali from a variety of countries and cities (Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Korea, China, India, Cambodia, etc.). Also check out the airlines. Tigerair(the best offers for flights from Singapore), Lion Air(cheap flights from cities in Indonesia), Wings Air, Garuda Indonesia.

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

The examples below show the cost for a one-way flight.

Here's a look at how cheap it is to 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 up) can also be purchased from Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Philippines. A little more expensive (from $ 90) you can fly from Hong Kong, China, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, South Korea. You can see prices for all these areas on this page.

If you are lucky enough to buy tickets during Air Asia promotions or other low-cost airlines, then 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 cheaply to Bali using the scheme described above.

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 28300 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 dock and there is time to walk around Kuala Lumpur: see skyscrapers, enjoy local cuisine.

Jakarta is like Moscow in terms of population, but in terms of territory it is several times smaller and there are no high-rise residential areas. I don't know how all people fit in 1-3 storey buildings. Apparently the matter is in the high density of residents inside the apartments. The city center is built up with skyscrapers and is quite modern, and around - endless 1-3-storey hut houses. In the skyscrapers, there are banks, large corporations, a bunch of well-groomed shopping centers (although some inside look half-closed and absolutely not visited). Instead of the metro, an air-conditioned transjakarta bus runs here. Buses run on several lines. The stops are like mini metro stations with ticket offices and turnstiles. Payment once at the entrance, transfers to other lines are free. You can arrange a bus tour and see how the local sculptors make fun of the residents. Each sculpture with pathos: a man, incredibly bending forward, carries a dish with fire (the local nickname is “pizza man”), a chariot harnessed by horses rushes forward at incredible speed (to emphasize the speed, some of the horses are made of mesh fire, as if they were shot through with buckshot). Fantasy works. A lot of statues of policemen with a baton and a seriously instructive face of Uncle Styopa.

It takes about a day to drive from Jakarta to Bali. 12 hours to Surabaya (by train or by road equally), 6 to the ferry, the rest by ferry, transfers and waiting. In order not to leave the Jakarta metropolis, I take a train ticket to Surabaya, almost through the whole of Java for 4.5 dollars. The sitting car is similar to Chinese, but the people are more decent than in China, both my neighbors spoke English, but the density of people is higher, so by night all the aisles were occupied by Indonesians sleeping in sitting positions. There is nowhere to put your foot. You can get through by climbing along the top of the seat backs, where there are free corners to put your foot on. And not some homeless people sleep in the aisle - ordinary cleanly dressed people who did not get a ticket with a seat. In some strange way, merchants also operate on this train, including selling rather large Muslim black carpets with gilded embroidery in Arabic script. There are no problems with food and it is twice cheaper than in eateries.

You can sleep sitting on a non-reclining chair only sideways, and the train was late for 4 hours. In general, it would be better to go hitchhiking.

Surabaya is also a big city. There is a traffic jam on the highway, which local schoolchildren are trying to unload, indicating to drivers where to leave the highway to avoid traffic jams and receiving a thousand rupees from the driver for this. To go back to the track, however, is also not fast. Avoiding a traffic jam takes the same time as standing in it, so we returned to the track surrounded by the same cars that we wanted to overtake.

After the fork to the east of the island, the route is free. Hitchhiking is very good - I could not stand for more than three minutes. Truck drivers stop to feed me twenty minutes later (obviously: I was standing on the highway, completely hungry) and they don’t even let me pay for themselves. But once I managed to pay: the price was half that in Sumatra or Jakarta. Moreover, the dishes are one hundred percent edible - the fish and leg fried to the state of a mummy, familiar from Sumatra, have been replaced by much more delicious dishes. The most pleasant drink of the day - es jeruk lemon / tangerine, sugar and ice. After a hot cabin, you want to drink to the bottom and sit for a long time melting in your mouth the pieces of ice remaining at the bottom of the glass.

The East of Java is a fruit paradise. Durians, rambutans, watermelons and mangosteens in many roadside stalls compete with the usual tangerines, bananas and pineapples. The prices are insanely low.
The car ferry leaves about five kilometers south of the city of Banyuwangi. I leave the city at night. On the road, he rides with a continuous stream of motorcyclists, while somewhere every tenth stops and tries to find out what my problem is, didn’t he find the bus station or what? At the same time, there are two or three people on each motorcycle: there is no place to give a ride, but the truck is prevented from stopping. In the end, I am driven by a tuned truck with blue dimensions, which, for some fundamental reason, does not accelerate more than 25 kilometers per hour. Moreover, the motor pulls well: and up a steep climb and downhill again - twenty-five.

The ferry between Java and Bali in the strait is constantly turning around and I just can’t stand on the poop - I just crossed and stood looking ahead, suddenly the engines started working and you were on the forecastle. In the dark, however, nothing special is visible.

By midnight, having calculated that the “twenty-five-kilometer” truck will drive until the morning at least, I go out and am ready to look for a place for a tent in the wet grass under the palm trees. But the next car takes me straight to Kuta, and besides, for the first time in Indonesia, I was picked up on the road by a jeep. The driver works as a jeweler, speaks English and is educated. He asks me how things are with the mafia in Russia. He has to explain in which offices the mafia works in our country. The driver says that in Indonesia everything is much simpler.

There were no forests around Kuta, I put up a tent on the city beach and fall asleep.
