The Art of Getting to Paradise: How and When to Book Your Flight to Bali

Planning a journey to Bali should be as effortless and inspiring as the island itself. While The Bali Manor Collection invites you into a world of ocean-kissed serenity and timeless design, the journey begins long before you arrive in Cemagi—it begins with the way you book your flight.

To help you arrive with ease and elegance, we’ve gathered our most thoughtful guidance on finding the perfect flight—from the best times to book, to tools we trust, and a seasonal guide to Bali’s rhythms.

When to Book: Timing is Everything

Like the tide, flight prices ebb and flow. To catch the best fare, timing is key. For international flights to Bali (Ngurah Rai International Airport, also known as Denpasar or DPS), the sweet spot for booking is typically 2 to 5 months in advance.

✧ For high season (July, August, and late December), consider booking 5–6 months in advance to secure your preferred routes and prices. ✧ For low season (February to early June, and September to early December), fares are often lower and more flexible—you may find excellent deals even 6–8 weeks before departure.

Where to Book: Tools That Work for You

One of the most elegant tools for flight discovery is Google Flights. It allows you to:

— Compare airlines with a clear, intuitive layout
— See price trends by calendar month
— Set alerts when fares drop for your preferred dates
— Experiment with flexible dates to discover hidden savings

You can also explore aggregators like Skyscanner or Momondo, but we recommend starting with Google Flights for its clean, user-first experience.

Once you’ve found the right fare, book directly with the airline whenever possible. It gives you better customer service and fewer surprises in the event of delays or changes.

High Season vs. Low Season: Choosing Your Perfect Time

✧ High Season (July–August & Holidays)
Expect vibrant energy, buzzing beach towns, and lively ceremonies. It’s dry, sunny, and ideal for outdoor adventures. The island hums with visitors—but Cemagi remains a peaceful haven.

✧ Shoulder Season (May–June, September)
This is a favorite among seasoned travelers. You’ll enjoy warm days, gentle breezes, and fewer crowds. It’s an exquisite time for surf, wellness, and coastal exploration.

✧ Low Season (January–April, October–November)
Occasional rain brings lushness and stillness. Prices are lower, the land is green and quiet, and the air feels soft and slow. Perfect for writers, wanderers, and seekers of solitude.

Final Thoughts: Let the Journey Begin Gracefully

Your time in Bali begins long before your feet touch its sacred soil. It begins the moment you commit to travel with intention. Choose a flight path that honors your energy, allows space for rest, and connects you to the rhythm of this island we so deeply love.

And when you arrive at The Bali Manor Collection, know that every detail—from the welcome drink to the ocean breeze—was waiting just for you.
