Once again, Turkish Airlines has come up with a great offer on flights from Europe to Southeast Asia. The cheap tickets for business class flights to Denpasar, Bali currently only cost €1,543 from Amsterdam. There’s availability until the end of November, except during the summer vacation.
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
There is almost daily availability in June, September, October and November 2021. You can search for flights with our Go2 tool, that will forward you to Turkish Airlines with preselected flight dates:
This deal comes with the usual top-notch onboard service and 2 pieces of checked luggage. Also, this deal is perfect if you want to take part in the Turkish Airlines Status Match challenge!
The flight route shouldn’t be a big surprise. As always, Turkish Airlines will first fly you to their hub in Istanbul. After a layover, your trip to Bali will continue. The airline will operate their Boeing 787 on the long-haul route. This means you’ll get to experience the all-new business class:
We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, this deal expires on March 10, 2021. The minimum stay requirement is only 2 days (or a Sunday). The deal is valid for travel commencing from May until July 2, as well as from August 15 until November 30, 2021.
Google Flights (instructions) will show you all available connections. The simplest option, however, is using our calendar above, which will then redirect you to Turkish Airlines’ booking site.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Mileage
All tickets will be issued in booking class J. Consequently, you can get an earning rate of somewhere between 100% and 200% for this flight.

Information & Tips for Bali
Bali is probably the most popular holiday island in Indonesia. While the metropolises of the country are more interesting for tourists that like the hustle and bustle, Bali offers a lot of recreation options with beaches and the rainforest.
Bali is one of the most expensive destinations in Asia when it comes to airfares from Europe. Here you have to be prepared to pay €400 – €600 for a return flight. Everything under €500 is an excellent price for Bali.
The Best Time to Visit
From May to October Bali is under the influence of the monsoon. It brings hot and dry air and a lot of rain. Therefore, the dry season is the best travel time for Bali. Those who come to the island between May and October can look forward to good holiday weather without inconveniences.
From/to the airport
The main airport on the island is Denpasar. The resorts and hotels, however, are mostly further out. Many hotels offer transfers for their guests. Otherwise, it is advisable to take a taxi or organize a transfer yourself.
