• Lion Air: Known for its affordable air fares and large network across Indonesia, Lion Air is perfect for those who prefer to pay for what they need. Checked-in baggage allowance is one of the lowest out there, coming in at just 10kgs. If you need more luggage space, extra fees will apply.

And for a flight that’s just under 2 hours, it’s a great cost-saving option. It’s important to note that checked-in baggage is only 15kgs, so it’s wise to keep this in mind when packing, especially if you’re travelling internationally as part of your journey. 
• Batik Air: A full-service carrier with a comfortable and reliable service. It’s definitely on the more expensive side when compared to low-cost carriers, but for many travellers it’s worth it for the premium experience.

Cheapest time to fly to Bali / Denpasar

If you’re looking for the most affordable flights from Jakarta to Bali, aim to travel during the quieter months, usually between February and April or September and October. These periods see fewer travellers, which means ticket prices drop and popular spots are less crowded. Plus, the weather remains warm with only light rainfall — great conditions for discovering Bali’s stunning rice fields, temples, waterfalls, and rainforests. On the other hand, flights tend to be pricier during the busy school holiday season from June to August, as well as around the festive rush of Christmas and New Year’s.
