Surat to Bali flights — quick facts

Surat to Bali: understanding why there is no direct flight

Surat Airport (STV) is classified as a domestic airport and does not currently handle scheduled international operations. It primarily serves IndiGo and Air India Express on domestic routes to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. International flights from Surat have been discussed under regional aviation expansion plans but have not materialised for Bali as of 2026. Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport (DPS) receives international flights from major hubs only. As a result, Surat residents travelling to Bali must first take a domestic flight to Mumbai or Delhi, then an international onward service. Some travellers also drive or take the train to Ahmedabad (AMD), which has slightly more international connectivity, before catching a Bali-bound flight.

Best routing options from Surat to Bali

The most practical routing from Surat to Bali is via Mumbai (BOM). IndiGo, Air India Express, and Akasa Air connect Surat to Mumbai in under an hour. From Mumbai, IndiGo International, Air India, and foreign carriers like Singapore Airlines (via SIN), AirAsia (via Kuala Lumpur), and Garuda Indonesia (via Jakarta or direct) all serve Bali. Singapore Airlines and IndiGo International offer some of the most convenient Mumbai–Bali options. Alternatively, Delhi (DEL) connects to Bali via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or direct seasonal IndiGo International service. Via Delhi adds more flying time but may offer better fares on certain dates. Total journey time from Surat to Bali via Mumbai is typically 10–13 hours.

Visa requirements for Indian passport holders visiting Bali (Indonesia)

Indian passport holders are eligible for a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Bali. As of 2026, the Visa on Arrival fee is IDR 500,000 (approximately USD 30 / ₹2,500) and allows a stay of 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days at an immigration office in Bali. The VoA queue at DPS can be long during peak season (July–August, December) — allow an additional 30–60 minutes for immigration when planning your first day in Bali. Alternatively, an e-Visa (B211A tourist visa) can be purchased online before travel through Indonesia's Molina portal, allowing you to skip the VoA queue on arrival. See /visas for step-by-step guidance on Indonesian visas from India.

Airlines flying Mumbai or Delhi to Bali

From Mumbai (BOM), IndiGo International has operated Bali as a seasonal or regular destination — confirm current schedules as these change. Singapore Airlines and Scoot (its budget subsidiary) connect Mumbai to Bali via Singapore with a single stop. AirAsia connects via Kuala Lumpur. Garuda Indonesia occasionally operates Mumbai–Bali routes. From Delhi (DEL), IndiGo International has offered Bali flights, and Southeast Asian carriers (Scoot, AirAsia X) also connect via their hubs. The Indonesia–India air corridor grew post-pandemic; 2025–2026 has seen more options than earlier years, though nonstop Mumbai–Bali services remain limited to certain periods rather than year-round.

Approximate journey time and distance from Surat to Bali

Surat to Bali spans approximately 5,400 km in a straight line but involves considerably more kilometres when routed via Mumbai and Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. The Surat–Mumbai hop is about 45–55 minutes. Mumbai to Bali takes approximately 6–7 hours nonstop or 7–9 hours via a Southeast Asian hub. With connection time at Mumbai and the layover at a hub, total door-to-door journey time from Surat ranges from 11 to 16 hours depending on connections. Shorter connection options exist if you book a morning Surat departure and catch a same-day afternoon Mumbai–Bali nonstop where available.

Fare ranges and when to book for Bali

Combined economy class fares from Surat to Bali typically range from ≈ ₹22,000 to ₹55,000 one way depending on season, airline, and lead time. July–August is Bali's peak tourist season (coinciding with both European holidays and India's school vacations), and prices regularly reach the upper end of that range or beyond. The cheapest windows are generally October–November and March–April — just outside the peak holiday weeks. Booking 8–12 weeks in advance and comparing nonstop Mumbai–Bali options against hub-connecting fares on FlightGPT can save substantially. Round-trip fares are often disproportionately better value than two one-ways for Bali travel.

Bali Airport and the island — what to know on arrival

Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) serves the entire island of Bali and is located in Tuban, about 13 km from Seminyak and Kuta, 25 km from Ubud, and 40 km from Uluwatu. Taxis, Grab (ride-hailing), and pre-booked private drivers are available outside arrivals — the fixed taxi fare to Kuta is approximately IDR 100,000–150,000. Traffic near the airport can be heavy, particularly on the Ngurah Rai bypass. Bali drives on the left, same as India. The airport has an international terminal (Terminal Internasional) and a domestic terminal connected by a short walkway. Mobile SIM cards (Telkomsel, XL, Indosat) with data packs are available in the arrivals hall and offer fast 4G coverage across the island.

Best time to visit Bali and seasonal highlights for Indian travellers

Bali's dry season (April–September) is peak tourist time: clear skies, calm seas, ideal conditions for surfing on the Kuta/Seminyak coast, and temple ceremonies year-round. July and August are the most crowded and expensive. The wet season (October–March) brings afternoon downpours but also lush green landscapes, excellent surfing on the western coast (Canggu, Uluwatu), and lower hotel rates. For Indian travellers, the November–December shoulder window offers a pleasant combination of good weather, manageable crowds, and reasonable airfares. The Nyepi (Balinese New Year, Day of Silence) in March–April is a unique cultural experience — the entire island literally shuts down for 24 hours.

Practical travel tips for Surat-based travellers going to Bali

Currency in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR); the exchange rate is approximately IDR 170–175 per INR (verify before travel). ATMs are widely available in tourist areas; Visa and Mastercard are accepted at most restaurants and hotels. UPI is not widely accepted in Indonesia. Travel insurance is strongly recommended — Bali's active volcano (Mount Agung) occasionally affects flight operations, and medical costs at private hospitals (essential for quality care) are significant. Respect religious sites: cover shoulders and knees before entering temples, and accept the sarong offered at entrances. Bali's water is not safe to drink directly — buy bottled water. Driving a scooter is popular but carry an international driving permit and exercise caution on busy roads.

Which is the best route from Surat to Bali?

The local Balinese community is generally very hospitable toward Indian visitors.
