Delta – $541: Philadelphia – Bali, Indonesia. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

Don’t believe we have ever seen Bali on sale for this cheap that is full mileage earning from the US. At least not in the last 3 years since we been up and running.

It is never easy getting to Bali. But once there, worth it. The $730 price is for Monday through Thursday departures ($740 on ITA, but Orbitz will price it at $730 based on our checks). Friday through Sunday departures are about $60 more ($790).

Update 10/14/2014 @ 11:00AM Eastern – if you stay more than 14 days, the fare is $541. It is $760 for stays under 14 days. Thanks to Robert for this.

    I received an even better price. I am traveling Feb 5-19 for the price of $566.84!

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @Robert – that’s even better. nice.

    maddie 9 years ago

    hey Robert could you possibly help me search the flights please? The routing codes aren’t working for me. Thank you!

    maddie 9 years ago

    nevermind i got it! thanks!

    Robert 9 years ago

    Glad you found them. I changed my dates to April to try to avoid the rainy season. The fares were the same price.

  • Just a reminder that the China Airlines segments will only earn 50% MQM and 50% RDM and no Medallion bonus miles. 19,520 MQMs is possible at $730 for 3.74cpm, but 3.4 or 3.5cpm is not possible with these CI segments.

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @John – actually, these are all DL coded. 100%.

  • Candice 9 years ago Reply

    I followed the instructions and ITA is saying there are no flights at all! Any ideas what might be happening?

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @Candice:

    It resulted fine for us — on the advanced routing codes, did you enter:

    Outbound: atl,jfk,msp,dtw nrt tpe
    Return: tpe nrt atl,jfk,msp,dtw

    or
    Outbound: f? dl f?
    Return: f? dl f?

    We tried both variations and it resulted fares fine.

    Candice 9 years ago

    Thanks, I tried a different browser and reloaded a bunch of times – sometimes it worked and sometimes it came out with $10,000 flights. Must be an issue at ITA.

  • Keeks 9 years ago Reply

    @The Flight Deal
    Using the exact entries you provided there are no fares available, for both you provided. Any other suggestions?

    Eric 9 years ago Reply

    Same here, Keeks. I only saw flights for $10,000.

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago

    And our other screenshot for the first set of ITA codes ITA code set 1

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @Keeks –
    Here’s our screen 2 for the second set of ITA codes and it also worked fine. ITA code 2

    If it is resulting nothing back and your screen looks like ours, then we do not know why.

  • Ray 9 years ago Reply

    Can I credit this flights to AS?

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @Ray – yes, but the flights in Asia will be non-mileage earning with AS as they are DL codeshares. The flights from US to first Asia port will earn mileage with AS.

  • Jason 9 years ago Reply

    I have spent the past several hours trying to book, but haven’t had any success. I found plenty of flights on the ITA matrix, but, despite my best efforts, haven’t been able to get one to price out on orbitz or hipmunk.

    I would love to spend a few weeks in Bali! To those who have been able to book the flight, do you have any suggestions/secrets?

    Robert 9 years ago Reply

    Jason, goto Delta.com and search the fares using the “flexible” search option. The fares are still there.

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @Jason – we tried a bunch of dates and were able to book on Orbitz fine. Did you explicitly specific Delta as the airline as per the booking instructions?

    Jason 9 years ago

    Thanks for your help guys. I was trying to book for 30+ days leaving this month, which was showing up all over ITA as available, but nowhere on Orbitz, even with Delta or Delta and China Airlines selected. I assumed that maybe the fare had disappeared. BUT, after your replies, I shortened my stay and was able to find fares that would book. I was even able to route using Delta metal the whole way into singapore, so that I could credit the 20,000+ miles from that portion to my Alaska account. (The original China Airlines portion, even though DL coded, would not credit to AK because the flight number is not within the permitted ones)

    I really appreciate your taking the time to reply. If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t be backpacking around Bali for a few weeks. Thanks again!

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago

    @Jason – have a great time in Bali. one of our favorite places in Southeast Asia.

  • scott/joe 9 years ago Reply

    best price i can find on delta is 617. not bad, but these are LONG flights. instead of usual 30 hours, these flights are 50 hours. also 13 hour layovers. this is so tempting, i can’t stand it. i wonder how long these fares will be available.

  • James 9 years ago Reply

    I found 532 — how can I add a stopover in BKK.. I am having trouble getting that to work with dates Feb 2-Mar 26?

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @James – no. BKK is not a legal stopover. Seoul, Taipei are options.

  • James 9 years ago Reply

    Can you show me? I am confused adding Seoul.

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @James – its really manual. read our stopover guide and see if it helps. but we cannot help you on building a stopover. sometimes it takes a minute, and sometimes it takes hours to find. just not scalable for us to handle that type of particular request. sorry.

  • Lisa 9 years ago Reply

    Are Seoul and Taipei the only Asian stopover options? That’s fine, I just wanted to confirm! And with this fare, you get 1 for free, so it shouldn’t make the price go up when you enter it into multi-city? (Haven’t tried yet, but wanted to confirm in advance.) Thanks! 🙂

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @Lisa – free stopovers means the base fare won’t increase. you will pay additional taxes and fees (like immigration fees etc) for entering a new country (depending on the country, it can be a few dollars to hundreds of dollars). the taxes in asia are usually very reasonable — but if its the UK for example, can be hundreds of dollars.

    Lisa 9 years ago

    Thanks, that makes sense!

  • James 9 years ago Reply

    Whenever I tried to do the stopover, the rate shot up to above $800. On ITA the two dates showed as the same rate, so technically it should only charged me added taxes, right?

    The Flight Deal 9 years ago Reply

    @James – plug those dates into ITA with the stopover and see how its pricing it. with the stopover in Seoul or Taipei, should be around $600 vs 800.
