Destination briefDPSBaliRice terraces, surf breaks and volcano sunrises — long-haul fares here swing wildly, which is our favorite kind of route.Best windowApr–OctAirportsDenpasar (DPS)All routes into BaliWhen this route gets cheap.
Cached-fare history: across 8 months, Apr is the cheapest for SEL → DPS. Best time to be there: Apr–Oct.
Fares bottom out in April around $286 and peak in February near $411 — a $125 spread across the 8 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 9.5 hours outbound, on a 6-night trip — ticketed under Vietnam Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $286 for 5,285 km each way, that works out to about $27 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $39 that medium-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 5 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bali, this fare ranks 2nd — 13% above the $252 from Shanghai. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 8 routes of similar length we watch out of Seoul, where the middle fare is $297.

SEL → DPS, answered.
Is $286 a good price for Seoul to Bali?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $335 round-trip and this fare is 15% under it, about $49. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Seoul to Bali?
Across 8 months of cached-fare history, Apr comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Bali are Apr–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book SEL → Bali?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 8 months of cached fares, Apr comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Seoul to Bali?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Vietnam Airlines. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
