Which airlines fly Delhi to Bali?
Air India has been the only airline flying Delhi to Denpasar non-stop, from Terminal 3. Check that it operates on your dates, because schedules on long narrow-body routes change. The main one-stop options are:
- Singapore Airlines or Scoot via Singapore
- Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia or Batik Air via Kuala Lumpur
- Thai Airways via Bangkok
A one-stop journey usually takes 10–13 hours including the connection.
What are the best flight timings?
Bali is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of India. Overnight one-stop flights via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur often land in Bali by late morning, which works well with a 2 pm hotel check-in. Avoid connections under 1 hour 30 minutes on separate tickets.
Baggage on full-service and low-cost airlines
Air India, Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and Thai include meals and checked baggage on most fares. AirAsia and Scoot base fares are cabin-only, so add bags online in advance. On a self-connected trip, the lowest allowance across both flights is the one that counts.
Getting from Bali airport to your hotel
Traffic, not distance, decides transfer times. Seminyak and Kuta take 30–60 minutes and cost about IDR 250,000–350,000 (₹1,350–1,900) by taxi. Ubud takes 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours and costs IDR 400,000–500,000 (₹2,150–2,700). Nusa Dua is 25–40 minutes away. Pre-book a driver for evening arrivals.
When to book
Book 4–8 weeks ahead for honeymoon season (October–December) and May–June. January–March, Bali's wet season, and early November are usually cheapest. Apply for the e-Visa on Arrival online before you fly to skip the visa counter queue.
Tips for families and seniors
- A non-stop saves a connection, which matters most with infants and older parents.
- Choose Nusa Dua or Sanur for calmer beaches and shorter transfers.
- Keep your levy receipt and e-visa on your phone for arrival checks.
