There is no nonstop flight between the US and Bali–Denpasar (DPS). Every itinerary connects through an Asian or Middle Eastern hub — commonly Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, or Doha — on carriers like Garuda Indonesia, Singapore Airlines, ANA, and Korean Air. Total journey time with a connection is typically 20 hours or more, making Bali one of the longest hauls covered by this calculator.
Bali's dry season, April through October, is peak travel time, with July–August and the Christmas/New Year stretch the busiest and most expensive weeks of the year. The wet season (November–March) is quieter and cheaper, and while afternoon showers are common, temperatures stay warm year-round.
No airline flies a dedicated low-cost long-haul route from the US to Bali, so every ticket is either a full-service connection or a cheaper connecting itinerary on a partner carrier. Full-service connections on Singapore Airlines, ANA, Garuda, and Korean Air tend to price best 6 to 8 weeks before departure; lower-cost connecting fares sometimes open slightly earlier, around 5 to 7 weeks out.
With every US–Bali itinerary requiring a connection, the best fares usually appear 6 to 8 weeks before departure on full-service connections, or 5 to 7 weeks out on cheaper connecting itineraries.
Bali's wet season (November–March) brings the lowest fares, since it's the quieter travel period. The dry season (April–October) — especially July–August and the New Year stretch — is peak demand and the most expensive time to fly.
There's no dedicated low-cost long-haul carrier flying to Bali from the US, and no nonstop option at all — every ticket connects through Asia or the Middle East. "Budget" fares here mean a cheaper connecting itinerary, not a separate airline.
US citizens need a Visa on Arrival to enter Indonesia — it's paid, typically valid around 30 days, and extendable, but it is not visa-free entry. Budget time and a fee for this at the airport, or arrange it in advance.
