From Jakarta
Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia and tourists looking to save money sometimes choose to fly to Bali via Jakarta. This method of travel has both negative and positive aspects.

On the positive side, tickets will cost significantly less and can be purchased for a promotion.

In this case, the baggage is checked in immediately to Bali.
There are many low-cost flights Lion Air, Merpati, Air Asia and Garuda Indonesia between Jakarta and Bali every day. The ticket price ranges from $ 45 to $ 160 in both directions. Tickets should be purchased directly on the carriers' websites, as the information on Russian sites may be incomplete.
