Stockholm to Bali is a long-haul leisure run with no non-stop option — every itinerary makes one stop, usually at a Gulf hub or in Singapore. The upside is real competition on price: several first-rate carriers fight for this traffic, so a well-timed one-stop return in economy is very bookable. This guide covers who flies it, what a fair fare looks like in kronor, and when to book.

Fares from Stockholm to Bali (SEK)
Bali is a year-round destination, but prices track both Swedish holiday demand and Indonesia’s dry season. The dry season (roughly May–September) and the Swedish summer and Christmas breaks are the busiest and dearest; the shoulder months either side are the value windows. The table below shows when the route is busiest. We no longer print per-month fare estimates here, because they were never measured.
| Month | Typical return (economy) | Demand |
|---|---|---|
| January | — | medium-high |
| February | — | medium |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | medium |
| May | — | medium-high |
| June | — | high |
| July | — | very high |
| August | — | high |
| September | — | medium |
| October | — | medium |
| November | — | low-medium |
| December | — | very high |
We do not quote a target fare for this route. Our price tracking holds no recorded observations for it, so a “typical” or “good deal” figure here would be an estimate dressed up as a measurement — so this page leaves it out rather than guess. The seasonal pattern above is the part we can stand behind; check the live fare for the number.
Airlines on this route
There is no non-stop service; every option below makes one stop and connects onward to Bali.
One-stop (the only way to fly it, about 17–22 hours total):
- Qatar Airways via Doha — frequent, consistently strong economy, and a solid one-stop option from Stockholm.
- Singapore Airlines via Singapore — excellent product and a natural, well-timed connection into Denpasar; usually a little pricier.
- Emirates via Dubai — roomy economy and a reliable single connection through a big hub.
- Turkish Airlines via Istanbul — wide network and often among the lowest headline fares.
- Etihad via Abu Dhabi — another solid Gulf option that frequently matches Qatar and Emirates on price.
Because these carriers compete hard, fares move a lot week to week. Gulf and Turkish routings usually carry the lowest prices, while Singapore Airlines tends to offer the smoothest connection if comfort matters more than the last few hundred kronor.
When to book & how to save
- Book 3–5 months ahead for the best balance of price and choice — long-haul fares to Bali rarely improve in the final weeks.
- Dodge the peaks: the Swedish summer (June–August) and Christmas/New Year are the most expensive; the deepest value is usually the autumn shoulder (September–November).
- Stay flexible by a few days: shifting a departure midweek or by a day either side often shaves a meaningful amount off a long-haul return.
- Compare the all-in price with bags: Gulf and full-service carriers usually include 25–30 kg to Bali, but the cheapest “light” fares may not, so check before you compare headline numbers.
- Watch the connection length: a Doha, Dubai or Singapore layover of two to four hours is comfortable; very short connections risk a missed onward flight, very long ones add hours to an already long trip.
Arriving in Bali
All flights land at Ngurah Rai International (DPS), about 13 km south of Denpasar and right beside the main resort strip. Kuta is barely ten minutes away; Seminyak around 30 minutes; Ubud roughly 1½ hours inland. Use the official airport taxi counter or a ride-hailing app — a fixed taxi to the Kuta/Seminyak area typically runs the equivalent of about 150–250 kr, more to Ubud, and traffic can add time in the afternoon. Have your accommodation address written down, as many drivers navigate by area rather than street.
