We get calls and emails daily from people that dream of vacationing at Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat. The one thing that holds some people back is the perceived cost of the airfare to Bali. The good news is there are several ways to significantly lower the cost of your plane tickets and we would like to share them with you.
Currently, we are seeing some of the lowest fares to Bali in the last 5 years. I just saw a round trip flight from LAX to Bali (DPS) for only US$625! There has not been a better time to come to Bali in a long, long time so take advantage of these low fares, add in the tips we will share to get the lowest price, and come stay with us in paradise. You deserve it and we want to make it as easy as possible.
Here are some tips to save you money on flights…
- Travel mid-week- Tuesday and Wednesday are best
- Plan ahead- booking more than a month early will save you money, 3 months is even better
- Avoid peak season- Early and late summer are great times to be in Bali. Avoiding mid-summer and late December will save you money
- Use an accurate and fair price checker- skyscanner.net and Momondo.com are great
- Use an auto alert feature- I prefer Kayak as they will send you an email when fares are optimal. Airfarewatchdog.com and Flightfox.com are good as well
- Search at the best time- Airlines release their new deals at 3:00pm Eastern time on a Tuesday and they fill up fast
- Be flexible with your dates
- Search nearby airports- DPS is the only international airport in Bali but perhaps you can depart from a different airport near your home
- Search in incognito mode- This one is a bit scary, but some fare search sites will increase the prices if a destination is repeatedly searched. Use a stealth browser mode so your cookies and history is not revealed
- Use social media- Airlines are starting to offer exclusive deals to those that follow them on Facebook, Twitter and other social media
- Here is a great new online tool that is said to provide the very best prices on airfare possible. We have used it a few times and it has been fantastic- http://matrix.itasoftware.com/
